Alternators
Great stuff Arjun. How are you ‘starting’ the alternator? Are you using a car battery or one of the laptops to put a current through the field coil?
Also how is a voltage being fed back to the alternator to regulate the output?
You’ll find some really practical advice regarding alternators on this webpage. JoshSeal 14:05, 4 January 2008 (EST)
Excess Power
In many systems where power is being produced and recharging batteries a diversion load is required to prevent overcharging of batteries. A diversion load is basically a big heating coil which dissipates excess energy. Is something like this required for alternators? JoshSeal 14:05, 4 January 2008 (EST)
