[Avodah] running creates electricity

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

Eli Turkel asked:

"one can create electricity on ones clothing by running.
Is this allowed on shabbat?"

Depends on your sevara for the seeming bat kol which said electricity is forbidden on Shabbat and how quickly you think it will be reevaluated.  I’d say probably not an issue in this case according to most authorities IF there is no intent (e.g. storage for later use).  However if you are a molid believer then perhaps even this could be an issue  (R. Yitzchak Schmelkes, Beit Yitzchak, Hashmatot to Y.D. 2:31, is of the opinion that completing a circuit constitutes a violation of molid, the prohibition against imbuing an object with a new property.)
