It would take way more power to spin a generator than it can produce.
According to Ohms law:

In a circuit, cutting the resistance by half and leaving the voltage unchanged will double the amperage across the circuit.
But as others mentioned the issue is not changing resistance, but again according to Ohms Law:

Quote:
If the circuit's resistance remains unchanged, the amperage in a circuit can be increased by increasing the voltage.
Which is exactly what a Voltage Multiplier does.

The analogy they use in this example is as follows:

Quote:
If the electrical circuit were compared to a pipe carrying water, the voltage represents the pressure of the water, the resistance represents the pipe's diameter, and the amperage represents the amount of water flowing in the pipe per time interval. If the pipe remains unchanged and the water pressure doubles, the amount of water flowing through the pipe would also increase.
Are my questions/ideas still a troll because a lot of scientific principals seems to support it.

Honestly I'm not trying to troll, I'm just theory crafting if nothing else, but I guess some people don't enjoy doing that as much as I do.
