Do you use deep cycle batteries to store your power?If you use a deep cycle battery for a remote home, campervan, caravan or cabin an efficient backup battery charging plant is often essential. This book is about battery charging and how to make a highly efficient battery charger called a direct charging plant. This book will show you how to build one!. A homemade direct charging plant will solve your battery charging problems economically and with high efficiency.Learn about:Lead acid storage batteriesBattery charging, basic and advancedAlternators, permanent magnet generators and converted electric motors for use in battery chargingDiesel and petrol stationary engines, horsepower torque and efficiencyStep by step construction of a direct charging plant listing components and detailing electronic regulationThis book is for people who seek battery charging in a more efficient form than what a conventional battery charger and generator combination can offer.

This new edition of the highly successful Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Level 2 workbook provides complete coverage of the National Occupational Standards at Level 2 as set by the IMI and has been reviewed by Roy Brooks, the highly acclaimed author of the first edition.The easy to use, easy to follow format makes this the perfect companion for the course, for use in class and while carrying out practical tasks. Learners will be inspired by the full-colour diagrams and images illustrating key techniques and the Tip Boxes, weblinks, activities and questions will ensure learners have full understanding of all the essential information.

Anyone who has experienced turbulence in flight knows that it is usually not pleasant, and may wonder why this is so difficult to avoid. The book includes papers by various aviation turbulence researchers and provides background into the nature and causes of atmospheric turbulence that affect aircraft motion, and contains surveys of the latest techniques for remote and in situ sensing and forecasting of the turbulence phenomenon. It provides updates on the state-of-the-art research since earlier studies in the 1960s on clear-air turbulence, explains recent new understanding into turbulence generation by thunderstorms, and summarizes future challenges in turbulence prediction and avoidance.
