Re: Electrical generators for lazy major-league dummies

I have been looking in vain now for a source that explains in a
slightly patronizing non-caffeine manner (the major-league dummy bit)
the very fundamentals of calculating electrical generators - i.e. the
formulas that let me know how many windings of what material will
result in what voltage, and so on - all the way to a small functional
hobby generator (possibly powered by having my neighbours dog run in
circles in the backyard).

The best way is to rebuild a car alternator if you're a hobbyist.
Since that's also how you te formula books.
Since the formula books are actually used in designing generators,
laser books are.





What I am looking for are the formulas and how they interconnect that
allows me to model in an excel *** the different ways to build a
small-scale generator without actually having to build it (the lazy
part).

I am not an electrical engineer, but have read the first chapters in
Giblisco's Electricity and
Electronics.

Pew!
