i have one of those around here somewhere. i was going to use it to boost batteries. i live in a solar/wind powered house and wanted a cheap generator. i used to have a M37.
if you charge the field, you will not be able to spin it with a drill.. it would twist right out of your hands or stop the drill.. i had one of those load tested at a shop and he had to put his machine on max torque and it still slipped the belts. one of the biggest alternators he had seen...
You are 100% right but I need to figure out what each wire goes to before sending voltage into the unit. I think this is a working generator. The method that I used to spin it may help others to check out their systems whether they be alternators or generators.
