Of course, much like starter motors, Dynamos are excellent devices with robust
engineering and can be made to give pretty good output. The big issue with
them however is the 'Heath Robinson' regulator which will at some point
malfunction and destroy the dynamo.
What is really needed is a good quality solid state regulator conversion that
will maximise the dynamo output and, if it should fail, do so safely.
That would have been (IMO) a better investment than a Korean alternator
machined to fit inside a dynamo shell.
Too often the vendor motivation appears to be to produce a gadget that will
have sales appeal, rather than identify and produce a true solution to a
problem. The high ratio starters are an example of that thinking, being a
solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.
