Where could I buy an Dynamo / Alternator for an experiment?
I am going to start experimenting with generating electricity using different methods (mainly using wind) and was wondering if it was possible to purchase a Dynamo / Alternator to do the work?
Where would I purchase the item(s) and would they easily be modifiable?
The aim is simply to gain more understanding of how the whole thing works by experimenting but it would be nice to make something useful.

Check out science lab suppliers like Sargent Welch, or Edmund Scientific.
Once you know enough and need to scale up, you would know where to look.

Ebay or an automotive store would sell them, now do you want a generator or an alternator, alternators the fields need to be excited with an power source a generator uses permanent magnets. there really is nothing to modify but there not that hard to take apart.
