Make thin copper wire. (Or other metal should work. Anything you can work into a thin wire. Copper is one of the easiest to make thin wire from, but gold would also work well if you can afford it.)

Coat the wire in a thin layer of wax.

Coil the wire.

Spin a lodestone rapidly inside the coil.

Electricity will then come from the ends of the wires.


Come on, people. Stop reveling in your ignorance and go learn something.

Except you end up before the Bronze Age with people asking “what is this metal you speak of?”, in whatever language you definitely would not know.

The copper age did precede the bronze age

Then somehow out of your hands, the time machine takes you to the time of ea-nasir, and you wind up learning the language just to write a strongly worded tablet.
