hello got a trix dynamo works only when spun very fast with electric motor magnet seams very weak think it doesnt work because of lack of magnetic feild anyone know how to remagnitise (bet i spelled that wrong) a magnet Confused

You need another magnet, make sure you identify which is the north and south poles using a compass. When I have magnetised things in the past I do so by stroking the the object to be magnetised with the magnet, I think it will imposed the opposite field to the one you are using to magnetise. Hope that makes sense! Very Happy  Shocked

I know that the old trix motors are not that powerful . . .
