Dynamos - where are you?

I will give you a problem. A ship sails the ocean. It left Boston with a cargo of wool. It grosses 200 tons. It is bound for Le Havre. The mainmast is broken, the cabin boy is on deck, there are 12 passengers aboard, the wind is blowing East-North-East, the clock points to a quarter past three in the afternoon. It is the month of May. How old is the captain?


I have asked eveyone and their dog, how do I make a dynamo?
I am not getting the answer that I am looking for!
I don't know what answer I am looking for, but I reckon I will know it when I hear it...

answers on a postcard...

I have had people teasing me with ideas of dynamo animations whilst
analogue calculators have led me to word problems (not good, I think with the right side of my brain), and envelopes that read ''Enclosed Is Your Relativator''

I now wish to know how to make clocks and will be annoying my friend and renowned clock maker, Dave Illingworth, he knows most things!
