- DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.....This video is just for entertainment and educational purposes. Alternator demo using a Delco CS alternator, this alt has a built in regulator and has a output voltage 14.5v to15v, 75 -105 amp. The induction motor is powered from home 120v ac current I'm only using the motor because it much easier to talk over and explain things unlike with a loud gasoline engine running. In this video I'm showing some the wiring and hooking up to battery also capacitors. I have done a small mod to the alt so you can use it with or without the built in regulator, with this mod you can us it to run power tools with universal motors also arc weld, and run the alt self energized. You would be hooking this alternator to an engine, of course you can just buy a generator which puts out much more wattage. This is not practical generator please buy a generator, let myself and the others gear heads build this stuff. Thanks for Watching check out my newer projects, Please Subscribe @kurtscottage Peace Out
*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*
Just plug your light into where you had the motor plugged up👍
Yeah never showed how he had that thing going..
Thats what I'm saying . Is he getting the power from the battery while the alternator is charging it making it a full circle or what . If it did now thats amazing
There is no free lunch. The electric motor that is turning the alternator will use draw far more energy than the alternator can produce.
Old fashioned "crank to generate electricity" type alternator (just like them shakable flashlights that charged up as you shakedown them) with a compressor electrical pulley engine. Start up the compressor and it will automatically turn the alternator generating electricity so the compressor engine can keep on turning
Every one of those videos never explains what is provided the electricity to run the electric motor
Good demo, thumbs up! Capacitors are a great addition to many electrical systems. They help inverters and 12v fridges get that initial starting current (grunt/torque) they need for heavier loads and are a great companion in a solar system.
I made a 6 pack of 2.7v 700 farad caps with Anderson plug & balance circuit for use with a number of things at home,ie, battery charging, 12v fridge (always on in 4wd), I have started my forklift & mowers with it and a number of other uses also. It helps greatly with 12v fridge in cruiser, as I have had a few issues with electricals, terminals , etc, getting enough volts to start fridge and they can regularly drop out on low volts if they hit about 10.5v @ compressor, which can easily happen with any small resistance in the circuits, so bottom line is the caps have stopped those issues as I have and Anderson Plug and H/duty cigarette plug on the fridge, I can plug the caps straight to it and the cig socket. Anyhow, thanks for the share, and I like ur vids.
Making use of the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type
Dude you rock . No one shows step by step thanks.
Tnx for the info bro. Free learning from you.
This is exactly the setup I have been thinking about wondering if it would work and it does so thanks for the video.
thanks for this! I am building a 12v/120v a Gen using a self propelled push mower. this helps.
Interesting channel. i love a good scrounge that likes to figure things out.
When zombies attack and we are all stuck without power etc, im coming to find you man! Good job!
Thank you for this simple demonstration. You seem to have good luck as you have not burned out the regulator yet. Be advised that these CS Delcotron alternators are the most temperamental I have ever encountered. Just too many wires for my liking and you need to buy a special 4 pole battery isolator (instead of 3 pole) if you wish to use one. I am perplexed as I have already burned out a couple internal regulator modules while trying to adapt this CS alternator to a home built stationary power plant.

I think this is a great idea I'm getting ready to build my first one my plan is to be able to run multiple alternators to charge my batteries and maybe run it with like a serpentine belt if there's any help or written plans you could help me with please pm
Cool! I was meaning to try this and you saved me the trouble!
Sir, you are good, real good at this. I am impressed.
I wish I would have found this video a year ago! :( Great video!!

great stuff man love to have seen this specially after my car has burned two alternators withtin 2 months sigh
Hey thank you for this info I did this to my GEO Metro 93 Suzuki 1.o and it runs good thanks I live in Dallas Texas
Nice job indeed. Well done (i.e., tutorial + video). Thanks!
i kept running over my battery charges so i built one like this with a 1/2 horse furnace motor ..can even run it off a chain saw and a belt if you are stuck in the woods..good for getting tractors going on cold days or if you air lock it and need a little more power
I’m a electrical contractor, damnmmm makes a lot of sense. Wish you get funded
You are a genius ! Thanks for the video.
learned and experienced alot, thanks!
I am very interested in this process. I've been considering doing this for the past few months but I've been stressed for time.
This is great! I'm wondering how I can do this myself? I have plenty of alternators as my dad is a hoarder lol and he has a few squirrel fans is that what u were using connected to that alternator?? I really need to get the schematics for this I would greatly appreciate it!!! Your a smart guy and this could change alot of things for people like life changing things. Thank you for this video
In my off-grid cabin, I have the Alternator connected to a Water wheel and that connected to 4 car batteries, I then use an old APC computer backup as the inverter. Lights in the cabin are 12v DC and only turn on the inverter when I need 120V AC
This is the correct way to get "free energy" it's gotta come from somewhere. Wind does work, or water uses gravity to do work, or you gather the gillions of watts the sun throws at us by the minute with a solar panel. It's gotta come from somewhere.
that's a HUGE EFING motor !!! dammn ittttt!!!
I'll bet it's heavy as hell thanks for the demo awesome!!@
Hey so wiring the alternator field connections the first big prong is positive to the battery the second small prong is your switch run a line to the battery or the positive terminal of the alternator then to your switch from your switch to the the second prong that switches alternator on the third prong up from the big one is your charging lamp remember when wiring this that the third prong inside the alternator is negative so when connect charging lamp run positive to your switch an the ground of the light to the third prong hope this helps ppl out
Another tip if you decide to mess around with electricity invest in getting a volt metter to test polaritys so your not shorting anything by wiring incorrect
Am so happy for the teaching thanks
Nice you covered the draw that’s an important thing to understand
I might have to build myself a little power station someday soon.
What I've been talking about! Thank you so much!
Damn, that's some Frankenstein stuff. i Like, OLE!
U have to excite the alternator before it will start charging . I put this same alternator in my 66 ford and it is wired up with two wires . After car cranks and rpms are up over 1000 she starts charging.
Great video, interesting to watch
Excellent video. Can you tell me if the alternator always spins clockwise in normal operations, looking at the front of the pulley face on?
alternator will work spinning ether way
Clockwise
Could you possibly send me exact step by step instructions to do this ...I have a 77 dodge alternator I would like to use for this
GREAT video, one of the best I've seen on the subject, GREAT JOB👍😁
good explanation here. thanks to you.
Great video, really enjoyed it. Ps how about a step up transformer.....maybe?
this is help me to understand wiring of the alternator,and I'm almost finished my first alternator-magnetic Generator ....:)
I wish you would have spent more time talking about the alternator wiring. It might seem simple to you and other people with pre-existing knowledge about this but I personally need more details and more through explanations. Respectively.
Wayne Workman juste plug àller the wire with the positif and your ok
hi my is kevin i con not get my to work what i do you have a phone number get me to talk to plaese?
my number is 07936144289
say kevin did u ever get ur alternator
Wayne Workman i
thanks for elegance videos
can I have your idea that what is the best solution to use all petrol engine HP for an electrical generator?
attaches multi alternator through belt would work?
Pretty cool. Try mounting a belt tensioner for the alternator and you may get more power also.
That's what the vertical red bar is for
I did learn a bit..thanks
hi thanks for the education. Try an inductive load, like a drill into that inverter.......or a vacuum cleaner; angle grinder, skil saw...
thanks for sharing this information to us, very useful.
Very good, interesting ,incoming we are, keep up the good work thanks.
Great video How about one showing how to upgrade to the battery
hey Kurt, does the switch have to stay in the on position in order for the voltage to travel through the system?
Epic video, thank you learned a ton!
Thanks a million 👍 glad you found it informative
Well done, dude! This was informative, thank you.
Kurtscottage University of Electrics. keep them coming so educational. One question do you get a government grant for all the equipment.
you are right, sparks around the battery are no joke. I had a pinto back in the day. it had loose battery terminals. I shut it off, went into the store. came back out, turn the key, and instantly there was an explosion. my hood blew up about 4 in, while still locked in place! when I finally did open the hood, acid was dripping off the inside of the hood, and where the battery was, well, it was gone!!! there was no longer any battery, except for a 3-in cracked piece of plastic. I couldn't find the metal plates, any pieces of battery terminal, nothing. one spark, and it was gone. it was one of those refurbished batteries that put out a lot of fumes. yeah I'm a lot more careful since that happened...😯💥😳💯💯💯
So, a 12v dc motor running off the battery starts the motion, the alternator can then be switched on, which recharges the battery(when wired correctly)
Then plug the inverter to the battery which then converts 12 vdc -to- 120 vac.
The amps (everything needs so many amps to run correctly, usually says how many on each appliance) which you can get more with more rpm on the alternator.
But then, I'm not an electrician,so this is what I'm theorizing, or deducing based on what i saw in Kevin's video. The use of those other apparatuses and their function is over my head. Plus, like the rest of you guys, i still have to try it first
What do you use to prevent overcharge or dissipation? I’d use a Stanley charge controller- maybe and utilize something for the power to run from battery and a smart system that will turn on generator with batter low. Safe no lighting bolts or battery bombs.
THANK FOR YOUR SHARING SIR.
5:40 Here is a little info, very IMPORTANT. '' eli the ice man '' where E=volts L=inductor/coil i=amperage current. Volts, leads current, in a coil/inductor
2. ' ice man '' where I=amperage current C=a capacitor (circuit) and E=volts Current, leads voltage, in a capacitor circuit. So, when he puts current, to those capacitors, the voltage follows. Remember this, it'll come in very handy , when thinking/designing '' stuff ''. Thanks, Mr. Kurt.....
Would love to know more ..would pay for a class hook it up
Awesome! I love technology!, subbed!
I have a 5 hp gas engine running my generator to charge a battery bank.
when i turn the generator on i can turn the switch off again just leaving it on for a second, When the engine runs out of gas there is no need to
go back out to it until i need to charge the battery again , thanks for the video,al
That's a cool idea! I'm looking at my own power generation soon as well!
Cant see how ur induction moto is hooked up
Good job
Thanks for sharing.
I'm convinced that kinetic energy self running motors could light a home and charge devices and other low power electric items. Our lights are LED. You may just need the grid for power tools, cooking and TVs. You don't need much power for phones and laptops. Or radio (if people still use them?!)
Hi great video. Can you guide me on how to achieve this. The goal is to charge the battery like the other cars do and used the battery as the source of electricity to power something like a bulb, base radio and others. The idea is something like these... the alternator will charge the battery and the battery will power up the induction motor to make the alternator running. It's like an infinite loop. Do you think this is feasible? Thanks in advance.
Also what about using a impact drill on the pulley instead of the motor to drive the pulley? I don't have a motor to run it. The alternator I'm testing has a fitting where there is a 6 or 8 pin socket present where the pulley shaft is.
Hi , what voltage is that Induction motor ? and how many amps consume .? Thanks my Friend Great Job
pretty awesome! can you not find a rustier induction motor?
good lesson thanks
gosh this is terrifying, I thought I was dodgey, but sir I tip my hat
This vídeo is great,thanks
Bro that's beautiful but I have a question where a u getting the power for a moter to spin the alternator
The motor is plugged in to the house power like regular. The point though is that you are only paying for the motor power not the rest. That is beautiful
?Battery to Alternator to Motor, yet The Initial Power is the Battery, but Powers It's Ownself?!?
Watching fr hongkong pitik keep in touch take care 🙂😌🤗
great info man. good info
Very smart man...good job..
Great work,
So, when you turn the switch on it applies 12V to the Slip rings via the carbon brushes to energise the Rotor. This in turn produces the main high current output.
I like your video is pretty cool I think I you should make some cable kits. High quality ones.
Dear, Thank you very much for very informative and interesting video. basically I am mechanical engineer, don't have electric or electronic knowledge. I am very much interested to make 4-5 kw wind mill, because have shortage of electric power in our country.
you can get a old school alternator with out a voltage reg...and take the out put DC and wire it back into the stator to self excite after a inital jump start from battery and tap into the 3 phase AC on the stator before it goes into the diode rectifiers..and with enough RPMs you will get 120 volts AC....
Great video
"Necessity is the mother of invention "
Ok yout good video..salam kenal
Tnx for the info bro.
What rpm is needed? I had a wind design just enough maybe to put a nice charge on a battery with no sun.
My question is would you be able to make one big enough power a Full House or maybe more
i made a system very close to this .did u know you can get 120 vac from the alternator . also the field coil dosent need a resistor thats going to put les mechanical drag to it by reducing the magnetic field, but les amp n volts at output
woow! that's a lovely project to do. i'm also interested in doing such a project but i have a different alternator, it's a Lucas A127 alternator. could you please advice on how to wire the connection.
Can you add more alternators to the same drive belt to increase the charging capacity? Also, can you use a 12 volt motor for a drive motor in the charging circuit? If yes, do you have an estimated time before the battery would run down?
You can add more alternators but will need a more powerful motor or engine to drive it. There is no such thing as free energy or perpetual motion. He is using the motor instead of an engine just for the sake of demo. It’s taking more power to power that electric motor than the alternator is producing. So adding a 12 volt motor attached to another alternator will do nothing except reduce you maxmimum power by the amount of inefficiency in the motor. To understand this, see if you can find some sort of human powered generator. If you have a DC brushed motor that will work. Spin the motor, then short out the +/- terminals and try to spin it by hand again. You will notice that it takes considerably more force to spin, and this applies to the alternator In this video as well. It’s kind of like trying to plug a power strip into itself 😅
This is very impressive
nice video would you able to provide clear details of of its connection.
How about all the new LED tech, does this allow for better lighting and recharging on cordless tools????
Can you post the list of i will nedded to build like this .. i rili love doing things like this..
So you're turning 120v AC into 12v DC just to convert it back up to 110v AC at the convertor? Why not just power the load from the same power source as the induction motor?
can a 3/4 hp ac motor be plugged into an inverter to run an alternater to charge a battery
thats what i would like to no
thats a good question did he answer you

RUclips recommending after 7 yrs 😂
did you try using the smaller of the wheels on the motor so the motor spins faster. to get more torque. It should be able to handle bigger loads that way.
So the red wire you have there is the sense wire going to the b post on the alternator to sense the battery voltage?
Hi Kurt did you ever tried to loop this? Thanks for sharing.
Can a step up transformer or power amplifier be used to increase voltage?
Very nice and informative video ,I want to know what type of dc motor will be suitable to turn the alternator?? a car self is a dc motor .what are options plz reply good and simple options thanks
