Abstract
The Riga dynamo, a laboratory version of hydromagnetic dynamo, has been rebuilt and is ready for new experiments. The instrumentation for magnetic field and pressure measurements is described. Scaling rules related to the magnetic field amplitude and back reaction in the saturation regime are defined. Tables 1, Figs 5, Refs 3.
