Your advice to build your own is excellent!
I wonder if that was this book? I think I still have this, and know that I've got a scan of it.
although it has a forward from Tom Cuthbertson, from Santa Cruz, Maybe you are thinking of one of his books?

Seems reasonable, especially if there is nothing else hooked up to the dynamo and the wheel is being spun at a speed similar to 10mph or so.
I've measured 15vac from my SON28 at 10mph and with no load.
