Convert washing machine motor to generator
During the scavenging and repurposing phase of the Grace Period after an apocalypse you can use ingenious solutions for keeping your lifestyle electrified. And as my How-To video shows, using the process of electrolysis will also offer a handy method for producing crucial chemical substances.

Here’s how to convert a washing machine motor into a generator.
