Rub them gently while watching some mature generators in action videos.

If it is a pole, it is already excited properly.

What i mean is ... if there is no excitation (or excitement), it is just a piece of steel (or some organic material) with perhaps a winding around it. It will not be a pole. North or South.

Normally I show the generator some dirty movies ("shafts gone wild" and "filthy gearboxes" work well).

Alternatively
