        Like miracles I would do it in a few times only during my lifetime. The rest would be just me roleplaying/bullshitting my way to becoming a noble. Maybe along the way create a crude battery.

          It seems like they need another dose of awe. I haven’t needed to do this in a few years.

          Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly several times…

          Ummm, what’s going on here? It should have plebtky of juice left. I haven’t used it in ages!

          Metal grinding on metal.

          Shit… The battery is corroded!

          If you’re lucky to have a laser with charging circuit and port for power you just need to build a generator. Still difficult from scratch but feasible

            As long as you have copper/lead/zinc and sulfur, you can make batteries to charge your stuff. The baghdad battery is several thousand years old.

      There is a book called Off To Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer that is basically this and it’s hysterical.
