And here go my 3 wires:

Now I just need to take the bridges out. I'm planning on using a heat gun to make it easy to stuff a socket on those nuts still holding fast.

So I completely take out the diode bridge and re-assemble the alt w/the 3 wires sticking out right?

Got the alternator back together with my wires all hooked up.

hello Carb, you have 6 diodes connected to your stator now, you should now have 2 wires that is dc ouput. you take the rotor wires and hook them to the 2 wires comming from the diodes, this will jump it to full power. to regulate, you add a fet between a wire comming from the rotor going to the stator.


i have been pulsing my rotor lately, i have found it to work very good as well. the self powered way works great, but you have to baby it and change freq all the time, i think i will be moving on to pulsing the rotor even though it uses about 2 amps more to do it this way, i feel its worth it not to have to baby it when its running. the circuit i use to pulse the rotor is just like the dave lawton circuit, but i use around a 4 uf cap, i will have to look.

It looks like somebody shoot an alternator.... ;D

Ok,

I read that you have the diodes outside.
Put the 3 wires of the stator to the diodes as you see on the drawing.
If you do not know what the right side of the diodes are, just take a multimeter and measure .
at the end , you have a plus and a minus pole, which you can connect to the wfc.
I see only 3 wires.
You are still able to feed the rotor with power?
