Wind Generator Bicycle Bottle

I wanted to make a cheep wind generator. Looking around my junk bin (Garage) I noticed a bicycle generator (Dynamo) and a “mole chaser“ wind mill from the Chinese tool store. So I combined the two and wired it to a 10:1 transformer. At around 12 mph (20kph) it puts out enough electricity to light a 12v 1 w led light. It’s a great conversation piece, but practically puts out no power.
