Old 4-6 kw Onan generators out of RVs (caravans) only require 1800 rpm which could be achieved pretty easily using waterwheels and junkyard auto gearboxes.  Unfortunately, the Netherlands are "hilly" when compared to where I live.

I do like the idea of self generation electricity and creating a mini data centre in one of the old barns...
