The alternator will not put out until you excite the field, something I found out when I built this http://gfretwell.com/electrical/redneck_power.jpg Hence the little Gel Cell. It turns out that almost all alternators have a little residual magnetism and if you just spin them fast enough they will start generating. If not you get double your money back. :-) So Wayne... it looks like you just contradicted yourself. Some brianiac you turned out to be. No he didn't. however I'll clarify that most alternators equipped with a 'self exciting' voltage regulator wether stator excited or diod- trio induced, do work off of rotor residual magnetism. He should know, he has four of them on board, and is about to have a 5th one. Reply: I've been wrong before. No. Really? |
