Yeah, and it just spun around a little bit and stopped.  It didn't even light a lightbulb.

...It didn't even light a lightbulb.
You used a standard lightbulb, right? Because it takes around 40 volts to make a standard lightbulb start to dimly light up (it depends a bit on the amount of watt though), while spinning a fan will only give you a very low voltage when you're not spinning it at a high speed (the exact voltage depends on the speed of the fan and the strength of the magnets inside them).
