Thank you for the feedback.

Electric dynamos/generators are tough to get in the Goldilocks zone. Sometimes, they spin too easy and sometimes spins too hard.

I took this little motor and modified it, I supercharged it with rare earth magnets.

Being that it's DC power, it rather noisy but lights the LED bulb well. (Lights incandescent bulb dimly.) I will pack more magnets around it, see if I can run at lower rpm to hear less noise. The pitch is from the pick-ups I believe.
