operation Dynamo.

Well I varnished up some wood for a simple base, going to dump the jap mounting base, I dont have a use for it.

Still trying to think of a Lighting display.

I would like to do something like this, but Ohms law says I dont have the power!



Will see what I can do with a few less bulbs!

Cheers Steve

theres no picture to see????

regards...mike...

you could use 12/24 volt bulbs to make a board up......

seen lots of them like that,a mate of mine has a 12 volt generator running a load of lights,

he was at ERICS rally this year with the words AMANCO HIRED MAN all lit up,

you must have seen it as you were there...

regards.....mike...

Yea seen that, Its showing up on my pc, it is running linux though, yea seen that, I could do it if I ran a could of sets in parallel.

Cheers Steve

Had a little fiddle about today and it will run just as well in either direction, so that makes me feel better about it.

Cheers Steve

Great news Steve, keep us informed to your progress and one or 2 pics would be good.

Stu.

Right Little update on the Dynamo, as it was needed to get the scott to run about right.

It has been fitted with a Taper Lock pulley of about 4 inches, I even managed to find the pullet Key .

So I was looking for some lights, I was looking at running some bulbs, but checking out the price of bulbs and holders I decide to have a look around ebay, after a few searches I turned up this.





Its a 24v ex military lamp, not sure what off but should give the dynamo something to run!

Next thing to do is to work out how to wire it up!

Cheers Steve

Nice looking lamp Steve, is it a search light of some kind? or just some type of vehicle spot light, can you see what size bulb fits it?

Stu.

We have illumination!

Should have it hooked up to the Scott at Henham and IF EOS, well could used something to rest it on!

Cheers Steve

Steve looks as if you can hook a lot more to that dynamo as the light was very bright and there seemed to be little change to the engine revs. In fact I'd say that it could blow the bulb there's that much power available. What's it like in real life in case I'm not getting the right view n video.

Stu.

Shouldn't blow its a 300w bulb, the light does change quite a bit its just the camera changes to quickly to notice, I can alter the current suppiled so will be fine.

Cheers Steve

That's ok then Steve, it's difficult on video to see and I'd asked earlier about the bulb size. So are you happy with it now or are you going to add anything else or just wait and see what comes along.

Stu.

See what happens, At least Its running something to keep people happy!
I would like to get a Tripod for the light to make it like a old time search light, like used with the stuart turner coast guard sets.

Cheers Steve
