For anyone involved in the construction of small electric vehicles it has become a matter of great interest that a cheap high-power electric motor can be made from a humble car alternator. It&#8217… ...

The stock DN-series alternator uses a bracket that serves as both a mount and a ground. A similar mount/ground is needed for the new 10SI/12SI alternator. Our stock mount was close to correct for ...

Your garden variety automotive alternator is ripe for repurposing as is, but with a little modification, it can actually be used as a surprisingly powerful brushless motor. Looking to demonstrate t… ...

There are also many higher-amp aftermarket alternators based on both the 10si and 12si cases, so it would be fairly easy to swap in an alternator capable of 200 amps if you wanted to (though MAD ...

The rotor (shown below), which sits on ball bearings and is spun by the engine's accessory belt, consists of finger poles placed over top of a bunch of copper windings making up the field coil.

Abstract: In order to achieve wide flux regulation capability, parallel hybrid excitation alternators which comprise of two rotor cores are proposed in the literature. The size of parallel hybrid ...

Hence an improved rotor structure is proposed in the present paper to increase the mechanical strength of the rotor without degrading the performance of hybrid excitation alternator. Detailed ...
