I'd actually be able to teach them how to make it if they have copper and magnets, since I know how to make a simple generator. They'd be SOL on how to use it though, because I don't know how to make something entirely from raw materials that would require electricity. Which means they also wouldn't know I am creating it with the generator... ๐Ÿค” Uh... Shit.

This is actually kinda wild to think about and I hadn't considered it before. Making electricity is easy! Using it is actually more complicated.

You could give people a mild shock. "Here. Hold these while I crank this thingy." Could be good for some lulz. Or get you burned as a witch.

Making an "ouch" device or basic heater is something I could do.

Even a battery I could make a simple alumium air battery cell. Or lemon battery. But I'd be viewed like a sorcerer asking for foreign ingredients like salt, aluminum, copper and zinc.

I swear the Americans remove another letter from the word aluminium every time I look away

Yanks are a sneaky bunch.

it's all the uranum from the atomic bomb tests

Aluminum would be nearly impossible to obtain, it's actually my preferred grab in a hypothetical "You're going back in time and can take one thing" situation

Yep, it was worth more than gold before modern methods made it easy to isolate.

Depends on how far back and where you went. Whoever made the Baghdad Battery probably wouldn't even be impressed.

Joe Rogan had a good line back before he became... whatever he is now. Anyways, the line is "if I dropped you off on a deserted island, how long before you could send me an email?"

Well you'd need to invent mining, metallurgy, machining, manufacturing, radio waves, computing, computer programming, electricity, and a slew of other technologies that took thousands of years and millions of people to create.
