 The Homebuilt Dynamo - Introduction
The Homebuilt Dynamo is not another "do-it-yourself" book, it is simply a careful diary with photographs, detailed working drawings, and text of how I build myself a low speed, low voltage, three phase permanent magnet alternator with internal rectifier diodes which make, in effect, a direct current generator.
The structure of The Homebuilt Dynamo can be thought of as basically a bunch of core type electric transformers cut in half and the two halves positioned on opposite sides of a rotating disk which has powerful ceramic magnets embedded in its rim (which passes between the two halves of the "transformers").
It is a well-known fact in electrical engineering that electric motors, generators, and transformers all become much more efficient as their size increase provided that all the components, (with the exception of the thickness of the individual iron laminations in the rotor and stator cores), are enlarged in the same ratio.

 WHY I’M READY TO BECOME A HOMEBUILT WIDOW
Either way, the FAA, the great muse of the skies who oversees all general aviation aircraft, requires that a homebuilt plane follow the “51 percent rule,” which means that you must build at least 51 percent of the plane to qualify in the Experimental category.
With a homebuilt, you can work on your own plane and not be required to have an annual inspection, thus saving yourself tens of thousands of dollars over the years.
So the savings with a homebuilt aircraft are not only the initial cost of building, but also the long-term savings of mechanics and inspection costs.

 Homebuilt Aircraft Overview
The official justification for permitting homebuilt aircraft was and still is education and recreation.

 Homebuilt Musings
Unlike some of the sophisticated homebuilt projects, the Falco may be built from the plans only, or the builder may order any or all of the Sequoia Aircraft and Trimcraft component packages.
Taylor's reasoning is that once the manufacturer releases the first component kit, he is then obligated to produce all of the subsequent assemblies to finish the aircraft...without any guarantee of the number of customers who will proceed with the project and therefore will buy each of the separate kits.
Yet the kit parts for the homebuilt Falcos are identical...just the opposite from what might be expected in such a comparison.
