DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.....This video is just for entertainment and educational purposes. Alternator demo using a Delco CS alternator, this alt has a built in regulator and has a output voltage 14.5v to15v, 75 -105 amp. The induction motor is powered from home 120v ac current I'm only using the motor because it much easier to talk over and explain things unlike with a loud gasoline engine running. In this video I'm showing some the wiring and hooking up to battery also capacitors. I have done a small mod to the alt so you can use it with or without the built in regulator, with this mod you can us it to run power tools with universal motors also arc weld, and run the alt self energized. You would be hooking this alternator to an engine, of course you can just buy a generator which puts out much more wattage. This is not practical generator please buy a generator, let myself and the others gear heads build this stuff. Thanks for Watching check out my newer projects, Please Subscribe ‪@kurtscottage‬ Peace Out

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

Good demo, thumbs up! Capacitors are a great addition to many electrical systems. They help inverters and 12v fridges get that initial starting current (grunt/torque) they need for heavier loads and are a great companion in a solar system. I made a 6 pack of 2.7v 700 farad caps with Anderson plug & balance circuit for use with a number of things at home,ie, battery charging, 12v fridge (always on in 4wd), I have started my forklift & mowers with it and a number of other uses also. It helps greatly with 12v fridge in cruiser, as I have had a few issues with electricals, terminals , etc, getting enough volts to start fridge and they can regularly drop out on low volts if they hit about 10.5v @ compressor, which can easily happen with any small resistance in the circuits, so bottom line is the caps have stopped those issues as I have and Anderson Plug and H/duty cigarette plug on the fridge, I can plug the caps straight to it and the cig socket. Anyhow, thanks for the share, and I like ur vids.

Thank you for this simple demonstration. You seem to have good luck as you have not burned out the regulator yet. Be advised that these CS Delcotron alternators are the most temperamental I have ever encountered. Just too many wires for my liking and you need to buy a special 4 pole battery isolator (instead of 3 pole) if you wish to use one. I am perplexed as I have already burned out a couple internal regulator modules while trying to adapt this CS alternator to a home built stationary power plant.

Hi there, you seem like you know a lot about alternators! Do you know what kind of resistance should one measure between an alternator's BAT+ terminal and the ground (case) of an alternator, while it is off the vehicle? I just had my alternator rebuilt but am suspicious of the rebuild quality, and I'm getting differing opinions on whether a there is supposed to be resistance reading between those points and if having a high reading (in my case ~2500 ohms) indicates a problem or not. I fear this resistance could be the cause of 2-3 hour battery drain problem which is a problem my car had been having before the alt was pulled. This is on an early 80's car. thanks in advance

Can you add more alternators to the same drive belt to increase the charging capacity? Also, can you use a 12 volt motor for a drive motor in the charging circuit? If yes, do you have an estimated time before the battery would run down?

@MittyNuke1 2 жыл бұрын

You can add more alternators but will need a more powerful motor or engine to drive it. There is no such thing as free energy or perpetual motion. He is using the motor instead of an engine just for the sake of demo. It’s taking more power to power that electric motor than the alternator is producing. So adding a 12 volt motor attached to another alternator will do nothing except reduce you maxmimum power by the amount of inefficiency in the motor. To understand this, see if you can find some sort of human powered generator. If you have a DC brushed motor that will work. Spin the motor, then short out the +/- terminals and try to spin it by hand again. You will notice that it takes considerably more force to spin, and this applies to the alternator In this video as well. It’s kind of like trying to plug a power strip into itself 😅

@johngibson3594 3 жыл бұрын

All this is great but you need power to run the 3/4 Hp motor. We need to run it for free otherwise your expending energy to make energy and you in most cases loose energy by doing this. I hope I made enough sense. When in a vehicle all stuff is there and your already running the source to power the alternator kind of like air conditioning in a car it’s essential free because your already driving somewhere and running the engine. Yes I know it may use a little more gas . Great video explaining all of this. Some have done this using a stream of water as power source to turn alternator.

So, a 12v dc motor running off the battery starts the motion, the alternator can then be switched on, which recharges the battery(when wired correctly) Then plug the inverter to the battery which then converts 12 vdc -to- 120 vac. The amps (everything needs so many amps to run correctly, usually says how many on each appliance) which you can get more with more rpm on the alternator. But then, I'm not an electrician,so this is what I'm theorizing, or deducing based on what i saw in Kevin's video. The use of those other apparatuses and their function is over my head. Plus, like the rest of you guys, i still have to try it first
