Practical Dynamo Building for Amateurs: A Practical Treatise Showing the Construction and Winding of an Experimental Fifty Watt Dynamo

Excerpt from Practical Dynamo Building for Amateurs: A Practical Treatise Showing the Construction and Winding of an Experimental Fifty Watt Dynamo

The little machine herein described was designed to furnish practical instruction for the electrical student and a very large number have been constructed for that purpose.

Being very small and light, they are especially valuable in class work, and are used for this purpose in some of the colleges and schools. The complete dynamo weighs but little more than five pounds, and is small enough to be passed around at a lecture as a practical illustration.

At many of the Manual Training Schools and State Colleges, the construction and winding of these little dynamos has formed a portion of the shop work of the students.

In efficiency, they are the equal of any small dynamo built and if the mechanical work is carefully and correctly done, the little machine can be put to practical use either in generating current or as a motor for light power.
