This Is a Skill Everyone Should Have!

If the electricity goes out in your area, or if the entire power grid goes down due to attack or other disaster, you'll need a way to generate power so you can stay warm and safe. While you can make due without electricity, surviving and hopefully thriving will be so much easier if you have at least enough power for a weather radio or emergency lighting. In areas that are prone to severe weather, many people routinely keep these devices on hand so they'll be prepared for power outages.

We really like this method for making a hand crank generator because the instructions are easy to understand and the process is simple. Plus, you make it using simple materials pretty much everyone has access to, so this essential little tool is something that nearly anyone can make. Plus, because it uses a dishwasher motor, you can simply pull one out of your dishwasher before you get rid of it, and you're putting less junk into the land fills!
