if you see he pulls on a piece of string/wire on the shaft to spin the generator

Roger!

thats cool and mythbusters is on lol

you need to study ENGLISH for a while before you worry about powering a city.

of course use a weight attached to track which is attached to tensile cord and let gravity do the rest, position track at an almost 45 degree angle

why doesnt anyone think of using elastic potential energy?? i mean come on attach it to a track system with one large gear and a small axle and your in business.

where did you get that magnets?

You are watching mythbusters!

Hey there, the shopkeeper asked me about the polarity of the magnet or some sort of specific power classification when i went to purchase em. Can u guide me about it, what should I tell him ?

it takes too much spins to light a bulb.. but it's pretty understandable!

@walperstyle You are correct, there is no such thing as free energy--however there is no reason to harvest wasted energy. There is plenty of energy around us being exerted in several forms so it feels free. If I use a solar panel to generate electricity from photons, I used wasted energy. Of course you could always say there is no waste of energy because photons falling on a panel are now no longer falling against the ground. Dirt does not need light if there is nothing to grow though.

@walperstyle do we really need a lecture on energy consumption based on some guy wanting to build his own little LED gizmo??

There is no such thing as free energy. Perpetual Motion has been proven by math to not be possible. It is possible to use other sources of energy such as gravity, radiation and magnetism with machines to get cheap power, but its still not 'free'. I figure the solution lies within the power of our sun and/or the magnetism of Earth itself with magnets and other materials.

That said, It is possible for a 99.9% return on energy, and its good to see people trying things.

Keep trying!
