there was an episode where they created a dynamo generator and batteries.
that took them something like six months with many people helping.
unfortunately dynamos(like above) and batteries work on DC current. that time machine works on AC.
so you would need to do two things.
create a mechanical DC>AC inverter that preferably is powered from the physical input of the dynamo
create batteries in both series and parallel to ensure a 120v voltage is maintained at the required amperage.
also consider that north American standards require electricity to run at 60hz. this means the AC signal flips the DC signal 60 times per second. creating a mechanical inverter would need to take into account the size of the circle for a complete rotation in 1 second as well as the speed at which the dynamo must spin in order to get 60 alterations per second. the rough formula would look something like: frequency = speed/(diameter*3.14). speed can be variable depending on the size of the copper wheel used as well.
to sum everything up, for just the two people there, it’s probably going to take them too long and they’ll die from exposure or predators.
they probably needed to add more magnets, but that would have made it more difficult to spin. not only, the faster you spin it the more charged the plate becomes and more resistance you’ll feel.

get excited
someone tried making one of those, barely got any voltage. not enough for a US socket. :(

they could use dinos rather than manpower
Dino-mo
I think you underestimate the effort it would take to domesticate something that never had any interaction with intelligent beings.
haven’t you watched any Flintstones?
looks easy
I love that documentary!
