What size alternators are they. Check your other post. I nailed it pretty well. ;-)

Way to go dude. I love it! ;-) 20 cents a day is pretty good!

Obviously, you are correct. But you definitely need a battery for start-up field excitation and load buffering. Look closer. He's got the battery box under the engine. Nice porta-electric. ;-) OK, it needs handles. I want to see it load tested. This is seriously capable of supplying enough juice during a power failure. With ample battery size, you could run a fridge and microwave on this, and then some. Needs some basic instrumentation, but a cool project. ;-)
I like it.

@doirealyneed1 You have to have a 9v to energize the alternator. There are no permanent magnets. You'll see this as an idiot light on your dashboard :)

What the F!#%ing H&** were you doing with the 9 volt battery???
um dont the alternators have to be supplied with 12 volts of electricity to activate the magnets in the alternators ,, for the alterators to produce electricity?

i took out the 3 car alternators and bought a PMA that is capable of producing 300 amps, i also got a 6.5HP electric start engine (new) it awesome it charges up 8 105AH batter in about 10 minutes. This thing helped a lot during Hurricane Irene when we lost power.
