  1. Remove the spark plug to minimize resistance to being spun. Removing the spark plug prevents the piston from compressing air in the cylinder.

    Replace the mower blade with really big  blades to capture the wind and turn the engine shaft.  You may even try increasing the speed of the engine shaft by using a system of pulleys between the baldes and the engine.   The faster you turn the engine the more times the magneto will produce a spark

    Mount the whole thing on a tower really high to capture a lot of wind

    Connect wires to the engine block and to the spark plug wire.

    Wind the wind turns the shaft the magnetor will produce a high voltage pulse so you will need to use a step down transformer to drop the voltage to a usable level.

    Don't expect a whole lot of power to be produced from this setup either.
