Forbes Published by: Todd-Forbes, Oratia, Auckland, New Zealand, 1987 ISBN 0 9597749 0 4 Available: Todd-Forbes Publishing, PO Box 3919, Auckland, NZ. Price: A$85.00 (postpaid, airmail) This do-it-yourself guidebook for making your own low rpm generator at home, has been available for a few years, direct from the author, New Zealander Al Forbes. We wanted to remind readers, keen to get more hands- on experience in practical survival/self- sufficiency skills, about this most valu- able resource. The Homebuilt Dynamo is a book filled with over 300 photographs, schematic diagrams and working draw- ings; it diarises the author's quest to build a low-speed, low-voltage, perma- nent magnet, three-phase alternator with built-in full-wave rectifier—in effect, a DC generator, or dynamo as he prefers to call it. Al Forbes uses new, off-the-shelf, quality materials purchased locally, and includes shopping and price lists (for Auckland, but applicable elsewhere). This is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in becoming self- sufficient.
