Does anyone have plans to build a magnet re-charger using a recycled transformer?

Maybe more than you might want to know:

Part way through the post it talks about Dave Gingery's design, if you can find a copy of his book (out of print) you would be good to go (except material cost :o ).

Here is still more information.

I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Any of Dave Gingery's books are worth having... if you can find 'em.

Then too, you can sometimes find them at a farm show, as a lot of old tractors used magnetos.

I got this one for $100.
