Lots of distractions, wife had several spells in hospital and something had 
o
give! There are so many great Echos that I tend to evolve from one to another
as the years pass. The days aren't long enough. I shall disappear again, get
used to it! Getting close to 70 yrs so Decline Incompetence and Grim Reaper
are approaching my orbit.
Just finished making a silly wee generator for micro power, garden shed
battery lighting [future windmill]. Used a 240v canopener motor, hacksawed
deep flats onto the rotor to hold circular magnets araldited there, giving a
permag rotor spinning in a laminated stator. Re assembled, it works BUT I
shall need an unusual dc>dc converter to step up the voltage to about 15v.
The project intended, to give me ideas whether practical using a larger
machine. Only delivering about 1 volt at 200rpm presently.  Cheers....ALEC
