Ross, ill try to remember to put one on board for you. Will have to work out how to get it to you.

dave that would be great.When you return give me a call and I can collect.
I presume you are local to me!!!!!ie 25 km radius of Zujar.

Don't leave us in suspenders - wot are you makin? I'll get no sleep until you tell us.

I'm going to make a pedal power generator, but also a wind turbine too (at a later date).
Got that book by the way Stu, it's very good indeed.

I know a bloke who used a car alternator to generate electricity, but he had to replace the field coils with strong permanent magnets - otherwise it won't output anything!

If you take away the regulator and diode pack, you can get up to 240v AC out of it!
