@@keithmoore4742 So the dynamo receives current from the battery to get started? I know nowadays alternators get current from the battery to get started
@@janjansen9037 well not exactly, just once as described. The dynamo fields then hold some residual magnetism which allow it to produce charging current. If not used for a number of years the residual magnetism of the fields depletes so this process is required.
Thank you for that simple explanation.
This explained the problem with my Morris 8 dynamo. Brilliant video explanation. Thank you.
Short and succinct- perfect. Many thanks.
Best explanation yet, thank you. :-)
Old school advice….😎👍
How about holding a strong magnet to the dynamo to get the dynamo started?
I'm afraid that just wouldn't work as the dynamo is an electro magnet
