Making the Simplest DIY Wind Energy Generator - How Hard Could It Be?

How do you power an electronics project in the middle of nowhere? Solar is not the only option, and in rough climates, wind might be equally as viable! Clem has a little piece of land he would like to use as a testing ground for various projects, so he tries to build the simplest and smallest wind power generator suitable to power an IoT project. Using a DC motor as a generator, mishandling rectifier circuits and charging caps, how hard could it be to harvest the power of wind?
