    First of all, no one would understand you, but how someone already pointed out, make a spool with copper and spin it. For bonus points, put a iron slab inside the spool

    Edit: as someone pointed out you kinda need a magnet

      Plain copper will get you nowhere. Adding iron slab also won’t help. You have to have magnetic field to generate electricity

      eh language barriers are generally overstated i think, people with completely unrelated languages develop pidgins within the decade, and if you’re dropped into a place where they speak some complete gibberish like french you’ll still just naturally figure it out given a year or so of being forced to endure it.

        That is very true, but maybe they would just kill you or think that you are crazy before you would have the chance to actually change mankind

        Ever tried Chaucer? And he was only 14th century.

          English has changed a lot (no I’ve not read a lot of poetry in languages other than my own), some others may have changed less. Maybe Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic. Greek has changed but some people know ancient Greek
