Yesterday, I published the article "I upload a video clip that "Operation verification of a hand-cranked generator" to YouTube".

In this video, I put a message of "the lever become heavy". but that was really "heavy".

At the moment that the smartphone change the charge mode, the generator load became heavy suddenly.

-----

As first, I wanted to make the video ranged from start to the charge completion, however I noticed that it is impossible.

I had already enough tired just to turn the lever,

For only one smartphone.

Looking around my room, I find the USB power source has plugged into outlet.

Nowadays, Most of the bicycle light for riding at night are LEDs.

LEDs are miracle device that can get brightness with far less power than ordinally light bulbs.

So, we cannot feel the load of generator by the lights.

In the past, we used to generate electricity by bicycle at night with a generator "dynamo" attached to the wheel, and I felt like I was "always going uphill".

Anyway, the pedal of bicycle was heavy, and as result, I was riding without lights. I think it was dangerous.

The hand-cranked generator reminded me a "heavy pedal".

Essentially, making electricity is hard work.

The present society that everyone can use electricity luxury is a paradise, however we forget it easily.

So I want to propose to make a new national holiday "Electricity Thanksgiving Day"

If it is too difficult to establish a new holiday, it would be good to replace or combine with "Labor Thanksgiving Day," "Greenery Day," and "Father's Day",

for doing "Electricity Ramadan" -- the implementation of a 24-hour power outage.

If doing this Ramadan ranged to the level of social infrastructure, our society will be serious damaged. So as the fist step, we will start this at the level of in-house power outage.

Alternatively, we could limit the areas of power outages and implement planned power outages.

It is also good to do that without the announcement, include a gambling element

Facilities such as hospitals will have the opportunity to check that their own power generation equipment is operating properly, and factories can test their work flow assuming a power outage.

I also think it will be a boost for the SDGs.

In order to start "Electricity Thanksgiving Day" and "Electricity Ramadan," I would like to first recommend the purchase of a "hand-cranked generator" and its operational experimentation.
