Google Sanyo Dynapower if you want a general view of the subject. There were similar objects from Soubitez (SJSC has NOS ones), Union and others. Don't get too excited though, he's looking to change to a hub dyno for a reason - the under-BB ones are hard to keep going through more than one winter, and sit nearer to bottle dynamos than to hub dynamos in terms of overall efficiency.
Pics and details of the bottom bracket dynamo please!
