Well, at least can say you built it yourself, and install it in your car when you convert it to an EV. And agree with others, you should be at 14.4v, you'll burn stuff up at 17v unless you add a charge controller. The problem with chicks is that they don't understand the magic you just performed. I'd like to see them take dead dinosaur syrup and power a car stereo!
I can get a (NOVA 950) Brand New portable generator with gas motor of the same size you have use in your demo, 950 watts built-in 110/220 & 12vdc output and it cost US$85.00 only.
this is good stuff. i built one of these 27 yrs ago & it still works great. it's sat for years at a time and still starts whenever i have fresh fuel in it. i used a light bulb as a voltage regulator, but i think someday i'll put a real regulator on it. even if it just charges an extra 12v battery, i can power up an inverter with it if necessary.
nice work man! I'm not sure but that kinda looks like an older ford alternator, and if so they have an external voltage regulator. 16.9 volts tells me you don't have one or it's not hooked up right. You should be reading 14.6 V at most. I would use a early to mid 80's GM alternator with built in regulator.
you scared the f**k out of me when you said it was an alternator, meaning it produces AC current. AC current on a battery is dangerous! unless you have a hidden diode or its a DC generator???
@savagenomore Actually it is a 6 pole alternator producing 3 phase AC with a half wave three phase rectifier to output DC. This alternator looks like it needs a voltage regulator to prevent battery damage.
@droopdude whatever dude, watch the other video where he buys it at Oriely auto parts, it's a GM Delco 10si or 12si with internal voltage regulator, self igniting 12VDC alternator, I use the same on my little machine like this but it's not a self igniting model so I have installed a switch to activate the alternator..
Dude you made my day:) Thank you! it's been a while since had such good laugh!
The generator looks cool and maybe you should try hooking it up to an inverter to get 110volts out of it.
I have the same thing with my wife i want to show her something that i just did and am very proud of ... and when i wait for the applause i get something like "so, is that it?" or "well done!" but with the tone that one normally would use for a dog that just fetched something...
wait you don't think the engine heat will melt the plastic? o_0 also use a turnbuckle or like a furnace blower motor screw [with the rubber foot] to change belt tension. or make a spring loaded tensioner
@crazy8sdrums as i clearly stated, 16vdc is way to much to charge a battery, as a car mechanic i sorta know this. alternators should charge at no more than a max of about 2.5 volts over perfect battery voltage (12.6vdc) meaning they should not be charged over 14.6vdc. any more than that and you start boiling off the water/acid mixture in the battery and sulfating the cells, which will cause it to short. and 16.9vdc will certainly do that.
@crazy8sdrums furthermore the only reason a car alternator should be putting out 16.9 volts is if it has been "full fielded" or manually set to output 100%, usually achieved by sticking something conductive in a special hole in the back of an alternator onto the DC rectifier, this hole is used for diagnostics. normally the alternator self manages charging voltage based on demand, and seeing as the battery was at nearly 13vdc, there wasnt much demand.
@TheRealSergentSiler Both of your explanations are well done and detailed on why a normal auto alternator will not put out more than 14.6vdc. There is not more you could tell the person, if they choose not to believe, oh well. Great job
@TheRealSergentSiler i dont know if any of you guys have noticed but the regulator is not in any way connected or energized internally or externally so of course it is not REGULATING the voltage output so he IS actually OVERCHARGING and will probably distroy that same battery 16.9 is INSANE

RFLMAO! "OH! EXCELLENT! ONE OF THESE!" I've found spilling some diesel on my clothes gets the girls hot.That and scuffed knuckles.Oh and I make them sit in the bed of my truck while dog sits up front with me.I do prefer the roar of a Detroit two stroke diesel to the sound of a woman's voice.BTW those gas powered 12v generators are very handy here in Alaska when there's no electricity and it's -50 and the truck won't start and the battery is iffy.
now all you need to do is get that engine running on an hho generator powered with the alternator 2x and power a pure sinewave power inverter for a/c. I am looking into doing this too but with 5x the alternators!!! haha take that power companies. lol
Well now... Now I know what to use the old flat head 5hp Briggs for that I got from my grand father a couple of years ago. Poor thing had to have been on his wood splitter for about 25 years I'd say. I always saw it as a squirt when I watched him and my dad splitting wood each summer. Now it'll have a purpose again instead of sitting around feel unused. :)
Actually, right now, you have a very-expensive gas-powered battery charger. HOWEVER, if you would add a DC inverter to your board, you would then have a modified wave power generator. Just multiply 13(v) x the alternator amp output (for ex. 100 A) then you can power a 1300-watt inverter with your system. Now, if you add one more alternator to your system, with a larger belt, you start getting into decent sized 'inverter-generator' range.
If you had 50 alternators hooked up to the motor then maybe it would be cost efficient. right now your going to spend more in gas than the amount of electricity you will get.
To get the rated output form the alternator it needs to be spinning at around 3000rpm, spinning it at anything less for supplying domestic power through a battery ballasted converter setup would be a waste of space. Put any kind of decent load on the set up shown here, and the rectifier pack inside the alternator will fail in seconds.
What's the running cost of the engine per hour vs Power company cost per KW?
Good video, but charging at 16 volts plus, it looks like it may have been running unregulated, if you use a 1 wire GM alternator this will work as is, if you use a Ford alternator, which is what this appears to be, you also need a regulator and a minimal wiring harness to make this work correctly. You can also use a much larger pulley on the engine side than shown here.
16V is a little to much output for an alternator that runs on at 12V system. Should run about 14.3-14.6 but aslong as it doesn't have an internal Voltage Regulator you should be fine......
@ricktoven2 lol who gives a crap he was showing how to build it who cares if the stuff was new or not, he recorded to do 1 thing and thats to show how its done and did his video do just that ???? yeah it did i say good job
I don't think he was interested in doing anything cheaper, it was a new engine & new alternator. I cant remember the last time I used an alternator with a nice 'red bit' I normally have to clean off the grease/oil, to find the terminal markings. Unprofessional oik messing about in his shed, but whatever....if it pleases you then have fun, but ffs, don't buy any powerful tools.
I had a number of discussions about the lack of effeciancy of V belt & pulleys, a standard V with a 1 to 1 ratio is about 50 % effeciant. work out the engine 2 / 3 up the rev range & if that puts it on a resonable point on the alternator output curve, connect it direct, nose to nose, rivit it, bolt it, use a heavy leather connector ( rather like that found on early magnetos ), OK so the line up is difficult, but you'll be a lot better off.
Get a pulley thats aftermarket for a superchargd engine. There smaller and more lightweight allowing the sc to spin faster. They also make altanator pulleys like that. Check the pull it yourself yards and experiment with different pulleys and belts to see if you can pull more rpm out of the altanator without loosing efficiency with the engine. Let me know I'm very curious and might try something like this with my homda generator.
im guessing that alternator doesn't have a voltage regulator built in to it. the charging voltage should be around 14 volts. 17 volts is way too high.
I have seen a lot of how to videos and studied the engine to alternator with a battery and inverter for a stand by generator. But this is the first one where someone actually did it right on the video using real stuff and showing the real process. Totally cool man and funny as hell. Really I know exactly how you feel. And sincerely thanks for the real hands on video.
@JMEMantzel It turned out great! Find a pull it yourself junkyard and try and find a car that was supercharged and see if you cant find a smaller, more lightweigt pully. It might give you more rpm's on your altenator. Im not sure but if you can find a cheap one give it a try anf let me know.
@JMEMantzel Hah. I think we are of similar temperment with respect to our hobbies. "Oh my god baby come look what I did! Oh thats right you aren't easily impressed but that doesnt' mean I'm not EXCITED to show you!" hehe.
I thought alternators needed a bias voltage to power up the electromagnet coil before they output power. Does it do that from the battery you hooked up? Like would it induce a voltage without the battery, like voltmeter directly to alternator leads?
@Subparanon What a great video and a nice guy. Yes for a lot of alternators you would need also to provide a small excitation current from the battery to the field coil. A straight connection would burn out the coil so you pass it through a bulb (not an LED) which limits the current. When the alternator is running the light goes out (it's the same as the Charge light in your car). JMEMantzel's alternator doesn't need one as it's self exciting, appropriately enough :-)
ccraig412 says a car idles at 700 RPM, true, but look at the size of pulley on the car engine. It is about 4 times the diameter of the alternator pulley. Therefore the alternator is turning around 2800 RPM as stated earlier
There is another way to use that thing, you can use it as a generator, since the alternator creates alternating current but there is a few components that convert it into direct current, pull the back of the alternator, you will see a rectifier, there should be 4 or more diodes, take that out and, You will get an A.C 12v out put, than what you will need is a step up transformer that will step 12v up to 120v, than you have 120v A.C to power a couple of 60w bulbs if ever there is a power outage.
surely its esyer to just buy a duel output 12v/220v generator from a store? the 12v output is for battery charging(12 volt dc current) and 220 ac output for general lighting ect
btw if the one shown is run disconnected to a load, the diodes/regulator will fry
People need to also remember the difference between a generator and an alternator. The difference is this a generator simply makes DC current. An alternator requires current to be run through so it can produce current, if you spin an alternator without a battery hooked to it in its circuit it will not produce current.
@ComiConPlus Generators and alternators both produce A/C current. You can rectify DC current from either. Same device, different name. Anytime you spin a magnet (or electromagnet) in a set of windings, A/C power is made.
@jaredgrow Might wanna do a little homework on this one. Generators produce DC and alternators produce AC. Thus the name. The diodes in the alternator convert it to DC. The advantage to alternators over generators is that they can produce more power at lower rpm. The disadvantage is that it takes power to make power. The field must be excited. Unregulated alternator output with diodes intact at 2,000+ rpm will produce 120 vdc. This will power any motor with brushes and resistance load
@huckfinnsr Don't pretend you know power gen. Reading Wikepedia doesn't make you an expert. If you want true DC power you have to do that chemically. Otherwise you are rectifying AC to DC. That is true for "generators" or "alternators"
@huckfinnsr i have a car alternator how much rpm do it need's to produce 1kw power also please tell me how much hp engine is needed to rotate it to get that power
@questboy86 you need a three hp engine. altenator output is not detirmined by speed but by electronics, however alt will need to be spun at least 2000 rpm for it to kick in.
@jaredgrow I have many years of living off grid and have built and used several of these. It will work according to his plan but I'd say the mounting is not nearly substantial enough and also under any appreciable load he would need a much larger engine to power it. I found 8hp to be pretty much minimum.
@jaredgrow So, even if a generator contains commutators, would you say the commutators are producing alternating current? I would call a device with commutators a DC generator primarily because it's only output is DC. There is no practical way (that I can think of) to get AC out of a DC generator. Oh, and A/C is air-conditioning. AC is alternating current.
@cocacola443 Commutators are switches not generators, it is still rectified, just not with diodes, it manually switches polarity. Also, don't be a turd about the A/C or AC it makes no difference. When I describe electricity I am referring to how it would look on an oscilloscope. If it has wave shape other than flat it is not true DC (spelled Ok for ya?) Go to School
@ComiConPlus There is residual magnetism in the field coils...a lot of times they will self-excite with no outside voltage, then the alternator produces enough juice to power the field, which allows the alternator to produce more power, etc. As far as I know, field voltage control is used to control the output voltage of the alternator.
@jackhammer8981 Tis true that mounting would be a lot simpler using a vertical shaft engine, but your alternator life would be most likely dramatically reduced by the downward thrust on the bearings imposed by gravitational force. I doubt the bearings are designed for the side or downward thrust you'd realize from a vertical mount scenario. Sometimes the easier way isn't the 'better' way, unfortunately....but I will concede it is more attractive from the fabricator's point of view, LOL.
36 hundred rpm the engine gives is way more than the two tousands the alternator needs. Should run just fine in direct drive, without belt or other multiplier.
Just get a circuit from an old computer back up ( you know, those batteries that allow you to save your work if power fails) they usually have a 12 V battery in them, but when the battery goes dead people throw the whole thing away. Get one of those, throw away the dead battery, hook up your car battery and use it to produce 120V alternated current like that which you get from the wall outlet and use it to power stuff (well not heavy duty stuff like washing machine or a stove, obviously)
@oscarskater91 3600rpm. one complete rotation per second gives you 1hz. 60hz is 60 rotations per second. 60 seconds in a minute means 60 X 60= 3600rpm

16V is a little to much output for an alternator that runs on at 12V system. Should run about 14.3-14.6 but aslong as it doesn't have an internal Voltage Regulator you should be fine......

I don't think he was interested in doing anything cheaper, it was a new engine & new alternator. I cant remember the last time I used an alternator with a nice 'red bit' I normally have to clean off the grease/oil, to find the terminal markings. Unprofessional oik messing about in his shed, but whatever....if it pleases you then have fun, but ffs, don't buy any powerful tools.

I had a number of discussions about the lack of effeciancy of V belt & pulleys, a standard V with a 1 to 1 ratio is about 50 % effeciant. work out the engine 2 / 3 up the rev range & if that puts it on a resonable point on the alternator output curve, connect it direct, nose to nose, rivit it, bolt it, use a heavy leather connector ( rather like that found on early magnetos ), OK so the line up is difficult, but you'll be a lot better off.

Get a pulley thats aftermarket for a superchargd engine. There smaller and more lightweight allowing the sc to spin faster. They also make altanator pulleys like that. Check the pull it yourself yards and experiment with different pulleys and belts to see if you can pull more rpm out of the altanator without loosing efficiency with the engine. Let me know I'm very curious and might try something like this with my homda generator.

To get full alternator output you need to spin the alternator rotor about 8,000 rpm. Don't worry, they're safe up over 15,000 rpm

@JMEMantzel It turned out great! Find a pull it yourself junkyard and try and find a car that was supercharged and see if you cant find a smaller, more lightweigt pully. It might give you more rpm's on your altenator. Im not sure but if you can find a cheap one give it a try anf let me know.

@JMEMantzel Hah. I think we are of similar temperment with respect to our hobbies. "Oh my god baby come look what I did! Oh thats right you aren't easily impressed but that doesnt' mean I'm not EXCITED to show you!" hehe.
I thought alternators needed a bias voltage to power up the electromagnet coil before they output power. Does it do that from the battery you hooked up? Like would it induce a voltage without the battery, like voltmeter directly to alternator leads?
Subparanon 1 month ago
@Subparanon What a great video and a nice guy. Yes for a lot of alternators you would need also to provide a small excitation current from the battery to the field coil. A straight connection would burn out the coil so you pass it through a bulb (not an LED) which limits the current. When the alternator is running the light goes out (it's the same as the Charge light in your car). JMEMantzel's alternator doesn't need one as it's self exciting, appropriately enough :-)

ccraig412 says a car idles at 700 RPM, true, but look at the size of pulley on the car engine. It is about 4 times the diameter of the alternator pulley. Therefore the alternator is turning around 2800 RPM as stated earlier

There is another way to use that thing, you can use it as a generator, since the alternator creates alternating current but there is a few components that convert it into direct current, pull the back of the alternator, you will see a rectifier, there should be 4 or more diodes, take that out and, You will get an A.C 12v out put, than what you will need is a step up transformer that will step 12v up to 120v, than you have 120v A.C to power a couple of 60w bulbs if ever there is a power outage.

surely its esyer to just buy a duel output 12v/220v generator from a store? the 12v output is for battery charging(12 volt dc current) and 220 ac output for general lighting ect
btw if the one shown is run disconnected to a load, the diodes/regulator will fry

People need to also remember the difference between a generator and an alternator. The difference is this a generator simply makes DC current. An alternator requires current to be run through so it can produce current, if you spin an alternator without a battery hooked to it in its circuit it will not produce current.
ComiConPlus 2 months ago
@ComiConPlus Generators and alternators both produce A/C current. You can rectify DC current from either. Same device, different name. Anytime you spin a magnet (or electromagnet) in a set of windings, A/C power is made.
jaredgrow 2 months ago
@jaredgrow Might wanna do a little homework on this one. Generators produce DC and alternators produce AC. Thus the name. The diodes in the alternator convert it to DC. The advantage to alternators over generators is that they can produce more power at lower rpm. The disadvantage is that it takes power to make power. The field must be excited. Unregulated alternator output with diodes intact at 2,000+ rpm will produce 120 vdc. This will power any motor with brushes and resistance load

@huckfinnsr Don't pretend you know power gen. Reading Wikepedia doesn't make you an expert. If you want true DC power you have to do that chemically. Otherwise you are rectifying AC to DC. That is true for "generators" or "alternators"

@questboy86 you need a three hp engine. altenator output is not detirmined by speed but by electronics, however alt will need to be spun at least 2000 rpm for it to kick in.

gilessmokey 2 months ago
@jaredgrow I have many years of living off grid and have built and used several of these. It will work according to his plan but I'd say the mounting is not nearly substantial enough and also under any appreciable load he would need a much larger engine to power it. I found 8hp to be pretty much minimum.
huckfinnsr 2 months ago
@jaredgrow So, even if a generator contains commutators, would you say the commutators are producing alternating current? I would call a device with commutators a DC generator primarily because it's only output is DC. There is no practical way (that I can think of) to get AC out of a DC generator. Oh, and A/C is air-conditioning. AC is alternating current.
cocacola443 2 months ago
@cocacola443 Commutators are switches not generators, it is still rectified, just not with diodes, it manually switches polarity. Also, don't be a turd about the A/C or AC it makes no difference. When I describe electricity I am referring to how it would look on an oscilloscope. If it has wave shape other than flat it is not true DC (spelled Ok for ya?) Go to School

@ComiConPlus There is residual magnetism in the field coils...a lot of times they will self-excite with no outside voltage, then the alternator produces enough juice to power the field, which allows the alternator to produce more power, etc. As far as I know, field voltage control is used to control the output voltage of the alternator.
cocacola443 2 months ago
ive seen this done with a lawn mower motor, a little easier to mount since the pulley will be facing down, nice work on yours.
jackhammer8981 3 months ago
@jackhammer8981 Tis true that mounting would be a lot simpler using a vertical shaft engine, but your alternator life would be most likely dramatically reduced by the downward thrust on the bearings imposed by gravitational force. I doubt the bearings are designed for the side or downward thrust you'd realize from a vertical mount scenario. Sometimes the easier way isn't the 'better' way, unfortunately....but I will concede it is more attractive from the fabricator's point of view, LOL.

Just get a circuit from an old computer back up ( you know, those batteries that allow you to save your work if power fails) they usually have a 12 V battery in them, but when the battery goes dead people throw the whole thing away. Get one of those, throw away the dead battery, hook up your car battery and use it to produce 120V alternated current like that which you get from the wall outlet and use it to power stuff (well not heavy duty stuff like washing machine or a stove, obviously)
