Homepower Magazine had a nice article and design about a year or so ago. One of these days I’m gonna find out which issue as this subject comes up on a regular basis.

I purchased a book 9 years ago from New Zealand called The Home Built Dynamo. I don’t know if it is still being published. It gives an address that you can write for information. Todd-Forbes Publishing P.O.Box 3919 Auckland, New Zealand There was no zip code listed in the book. I’m not sure if you need one over there. I’m not sure this is what you are looking for but it is a very good and detailed book. The subtitle of the book is: Dynamo Design and Construction With Ceramic Magnets. — David

Go to your library and look in the old Amateur radio magazines. there are many, many such articles there. Amateur radio operators in the USA have been a valuable addition to the disaster response systems of the country for a long time. Good luck.
