An experimental demonstration of a magnetic field generated by the motion of liquid conductor is still lacking despite the central role of the dynamo effect in geophysics and astrophysics. Several experiments are presently being prepared which aim at building a homogeneous dynamo on a laboratory scale. The technical difficulties involved in building a dynamo preclude an experiment which replicates all aspects of the geodynamo and realizability is the prime concern in the experimental projects. The flows resulting from the different driving mechanisms which have been proposed are compared and the considerations entering the design of a dynamo experiment are presented.
