Generator
A generator converts real supplied mechanical energy; capacity, waveform, conditioning and regulation must match the caller.

Capability requirements and tolerances
Consumer-specific numerical targets, quantities and acceptance limits remain open or incompletely reviewed. No smartphone-grade suitability is claimed. Distinct capability tiers require their own making route and qualification.

Making outline
- Build magnetic and winding/shaft assemblies.
- Apply a real hand, wind or water mechanical input.
- Rectify/regulate/protect output as the load requires.
- Verify voltage/current, waveform, regulation and loaded capacity.
What remains unresolved
- Earlier galvanic cells or coarse-conductor generators are candidate bootstrap routes, not qualified solutions.
- No prime-mover site/design, output rating, regulation circuit or wire/magnet/metrology bootstrap route is confirmed.
Unselected discovery proposals
These are research questions, not published manufacturing dependencies. The seed combines alternatives, operating requirements and verification relationships.
