As a side-note: You can download Wikipedia.

Then you realize that, back then, the only thing they had were Xfinity hot spots.

Worst Isekai. I didn't finish it though so no I don't really know I just didn't enjoy episode 1 with my smartphone.

The main challenge with inventing a working printing press would be the papermaking and level of metalworking required for the movable type.

Did the Greeks not do experiments? They knew math. They even hypothetically knew about atoms.

An offline version of Wikipedia would be handy though.

This book tells you that it's really, really fucking hard.

This is good stuff!

There's also [The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch](!wiki The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch) by Lewis Dartnel. Great book

I read this recently. It's great, though I think it could give clearer instructions with more diagrams, and cover some subjects a lot better

I just know a guy who sell copper.

We need some sorta optimal pathing tech tree.

Yooo, this sounds funny as frickin heck. Anyone knows this?

I feel like I definitely read that in middle/high school

If you can make a dynamo, you can make a motor. Now, you aren't about to create Tesla. But there's plenty of things back in the day that could benefit from being motorized.

You can create light with electricity with two carbon rods to make an arc light. It was literally the first electric light source and in widespread use for a long while, along with incandescent bulbs.

You use it to charge your phone, duh.

You should watch Dr Stone

You can run a carbon arc lamp without glass bulbs, and without a huge voltage.

Electrocuting elephants?

"What's a magnet?"

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Love this documentary! My professor made my class watch this and I must say that all of it just clicked.

I mean, could you imagine? The horror..

Say no more, ill repost it 1 more time in your honor

Part of that image is cropped, just below the diagram of the wing. That's going to be an interesting test flight!

Wrap it in the wire, then spin one of them. That part's important! Won't do anything if you don't spin it.

Hopefully they have manufactured copper wire for you

Starring Ricky Gervais is presume?

Project manager: "Absolutely the developers can implement it!"

The developers: 😑😑😑

Solar are LEDs. But instead of putting electricity into that light comes out, you push the light in to get electricity out.

You're thinking of steam.
Create enough steam to turn a turbine that turns a magnet wrapped with copper.

Fun fact, nuclear power is just a powerful way to create more steam.

Spinning an iron bar between another iron bar wrapped with one thin copper piece makes zap light.

It also makes a magnet for convenience.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

People always think about going to the past for their knowledge power-trip, when going to the future could be even dumber.

Lightbulbs are pretty easy to make if you:

• Can find a jeweler or blacksmith like you said
• Can generate a ton of electricity somehow
• Are okay with the lightbulb lasting no more than 1 second

Plain copper will get you nowhere. Adding iron slab also won't help. You have to have magnetic field to generate electricity

eh language barriers are generally overstated i think, people with completely unrelated languages develop pidgins within the decade, and if you're dropped into a place where they speak some complete gibberish like french you'll still just naturally figure it out given a year or so of being forced to endure it.

Why wouldn't they understand? People speak other languages than English

What's a magnet

Monkey go hurr durr durr

Something that people miss though is that they do hit some roadblocks that if not for some extremely lucky coincidences, they wouldn't have any way to do it. Specifically for various materials that just so happen to be around them.

I mean, from this thread it shows people kinda remember stuff from those classes, but are missing a lot. Which is understandable, people left school and didn't use that information, it doesn't make you stupid.

But then you think, oh yeah! I remember how to make electricity, I need copper and an iron rock! So you spend all this time trying to manufacture some relatively thin copper wire, iron would probably be a little easier to find, wrap it around and then you're like.... Okay what went wrong? Annnnd you can't remember you actually needed a magnet and you gotta spin it.

Then do you remember learning how to store it? Connect it to anything useful? Maybe kinda, but extrapolate the first situation to every topic ever and that's what you'd get, half baked ideas that you don't really remember the specifics of. And the specifics really actually matter lol.

Even if you studied it, the answer boils down to "magic".

You take these magnets, and move them around these long snakes of metal (because electrons can move easily through metal) and that makes the electrons in the wires move.

Okay, why does moving around a magnet near metal make something inside it move?

Well there's something we call the "Lorentz force" which basically pushes a magnetic thing in a specific way if you move another magnetic thing around it

But why does that happen?

Magic
