The temperatue will not exceed 100 degrees on many occasions. So I am presuming that most plastics would be able to withstand the temperatures that are being asked of it. Do you agree?

Basically would just like a summary of the components that are required in order to create a small dynamo. And also, any ideas how much voltage can be produced from one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, it needs to heat up fluids to around 37 degrees...so it doesn't need to heat the wire up to be red hot or anything. Would you still think this wasn't possible with a small dynamo?

thanks...there would be the possibility to store the energy. I was thinking of maybe using the dynamo to charge a battery and then using the battery to heat up the heating element. Do you think this would be possible? I will be using Nichrome Resistance wire for the heating element, and the...

Just need a bit of clarification, I am attempting to make a dynamo system but not totally sure where to start. What components would be required? It needs to be pretty small, similar size to that used in a wind-up torch, and it will be required to produce heat rather than light. Any help...

Thanks, but I was more looking for a plastic / polymer, due to the form that it will have to be manufactured into...any ideas?

Hi guys, I need a bit of help in making a decision on a particular material. Basically, i am doing a project where I will be heating water in a bottle. I have an idea of using a dynamo to provide the energy to heat the water. In order to be able to do this, I need some advice on a material...
