I'm interested in using an MM7 to light an LED and wondered if anyone
has tried coupling the flywheel to a small electric motor as a
generator? As this should only require a few watts of power I'm
guessing it should be capable. Comments? Suggestions?

Response to Lighting LED with MM7
The MM7 is an LTD Heat of Your Hand engine. It runs too slow 40-100 rpm and is too slow for running a generator.
I would suggest a MM5 Coffee Cup engine which is much faster and should be adequate to light a low voltage LED with a small dc motor/generator.
