BOOKS
Ignition Coils and Magnetos
in Miniature by Bob Shores
|
|
"The
most significant contribution I have made to the small
gas engine hobby was to publish this book in 1997." The
book is very popular with small, and large, gas engine
builders and collectors. The book was written to correct many
misconceptions concerning ignition coils and magnetos and to
provide working information to design, build, apply and
troubleshoot ignition systems.
The
book also provides information to build miniature ignition
coils, magnetos and a coil winder. It is a 281 page,
library quality hardback with gold lettering containing 116
drawings and illustrations. The book is written in layman's
terms. Technical terms and "buzz words" are
avoided for easy understanding.
Twenty
one chapters include:
Electricity - Magnets - The magnetis circuit - Inductors -
Laminations - Condensers - Wire - How they work - Breaker
contacts - Magnetos - Coil winder construction - Details to
construct three miniature coils - Constructing the Wico EK in
half scale - Glossary - Formulae - Wire tables and more.

The Home Machinist Handbook
(Beginners)
|
|
Here's everything the do-it-yourselfer needs to set up, and operate a handy-man's machine shop. Areas covered range from shop requirements and proper lighting to buying, using, and storing tools.
A lot has been written about machine tools and how they are used to make parts. Most books and literature on the subject are written in very technical terms for the professional machinist, someone interested in obtaining high-volume production rates at the lowest cost. These books assume that the machinist has unlimited funds and can equip his shop with the very latest and best equipment.
This book is different. It is written fro the nonprofessional—the man who wants to work on a few projects at home. This book is written for the hobbyist who wants to make a few parts for his radio-controlled airplane or boat, the model railroader building a new locomotive, or the amateur horologist repairing a clock. It is intended for the inventor who needs a few parts to try out his latest idea, or the engineer who wants to build a prototype for a new product. This book is intended for you—to give you an understanding of the equipment, methods, and materials used in basic machine shop work.

Three LTD Stirling Engines You Can Build Without a Machine Shop by
Jim R. Larsen
 |
This book will guide you
step-by-step through the process of building three low
temperature differential (LTD) Stirling Engines for less
than $30 each. Two
of them are efficient enough to run from the heat of your
hand. And
all three of them can be built using common hand tools with
material available at your local hardware store and hobby
shop.
The
hot air engine (aka: “Stirling engine”) has been around
for a very long time. Interest
in the technology has been revived in recent years by those
exploring new methods for producing “Green Energy”. An
LTD Stirling engine is efficient enough to run from the
waste heat that is discharged from other appliances or from
the warmth of direct sunlight. The
most efficient of these will run from the heat of your hand.
Until
now, if you wanted to build your own heat of the hand
Stirling Engine you had to either spend several hundred
dollars for an expensive kit or you needed access to a
precision machine shop. This
book breaks both those barriers for you. Now
you can build your own working models that will run from the
heat of your hand, without the aid of a machine shop.
Whether
you are a student looking for a winning science fair
project, or just a home hobbyist looking for a fun project,
you will find this book to be a helpful guide in creating
your own LTD Stirling engines. You
will find detailed instructions, tips on finding parts, and
over 130 illustrations to help you recreate Jim Larsen’s
original designs for these highly efficient small models.
