AI Thread Summary
To build a small dynamo, essential components include a rotor, stator, magnets, and a coil of wire. The voltage produced by a dynamo varies based on the design, rotation speed, and magnet strength. Researching terms like "Dynamo," "Generator," and "How to build a generator" can provide further insights and detailed instructions. Understanding these variables is crucial for optimizing voltage output. Comprehensive information is readily available through online resources.

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.

Your question is too broad. The voltage and current depends on how the dynamo is built, how fast it rotates, the strength of the magnets, ETC. Look up Dynamo on wikipedia and try some google searches for "Dynamo", "Generator", "How to build a generator", and other things and you should be able to find out all the info you need.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
