Maybe not strictly a series thread but it'd be going on one.
I saw a video on youtube where some geyser had made a motor out of a alternator.
This can be done using some electronic dooferknackers and thats not so hard to do, however I was thinking I could do this a simpler way.
An alty is 3 phase, so would need 3 phase to operate as a motor, so rather than mess wiith high current mosfets I was thinking tap into the vehicles own alty on the 3 seperate phases, and connect these directly to the 3 phases of the alty used as a motor on the sawbench, and connect the field windings of the sawbench alty direct to the vehicles 12v battery to create a constant full field, then the sawbench motor/alty in theory would track the speed of the vehicle alty, and this wouldnt need any electronics just a few wiring connections.
Anyone seen or done owt like this.
Maybe this is a thread for another forum.
