so to make is short and sweet these are possible not practical
 
I personally was thinking of drilling a couple of holes in the flywheel and inserting a couple of small magnets to make a stator type system like on a motorcycle. Not to charge the battery but to run lights and stuff. I have a lot of magnets out of flip phones. They are used as magnetic switches so that the light's go out when the lid is closed. One of these day's I'll get board enough to do it.

I thought the same kind of thing. A couple magnets epoxied to the back of the flywheel wouldn't cause any drag on the engine and would also not include any "moving" parts.
 
Here is the magnets I’ll use if and when I get around to experimenting.

:shrug: do u have a screen shot progam
 
to do a screen shot, what you do is on you're keyboard in the upper right hand side you will see a key that say's (Print Scrn/SysRq) it's next to the scroll lock key. push that key when you are at the screen you want to copy. after you do that. open paint or anyother photo program you want, click on edit, then click on paste. and Ta Da. you got your screen shot
 
have you guys tried one of those zip zap motors? they weigh NOTHING. a little sheet metal strips, some kinda voltage regulator(if it even puts out enough power). the only other thing would be if the motor will burn up.
