This is just a toggle switch with two diodes. Every diode have forward bias voltage drop of aprox. 0.4V . If you substract 0.4V at the sense of the alternator then the regulator will increase the 0.4V . So if using the two diodes in series with the toggle switch will subtract and add at the output 0.8V. It do the trick!!
In your other video at cruse speed and rpm the voltage was higher so you probably have been charging fine but the high switch is probably good for running loads at idle
I just boil water and use sugar. I can't recall the exact ratio but I believe 1:4. It's a common ratio and I have to look it up every time. I also add a few drops of lavender syrup because I feel like it makes mine a little better than others so they remember that and come back often.
Ummm no. The alternator is built to create more voltage yet. It's just limited by the electronics. I've built some crazy stereos back in the day and cranked up the voltage to make them work and I've never killed an alternator prematurely in 25+ years.

Here in Houston below 100F in the summer is a cool front 😂. Of course when it gets below freezing the city gets paralyzed.

Very nice product! I'll check it out.
Update? Thinking about ordering one of these.
can I add or modify this to A RAM 1500 5.7L
what kind of hummingbird food do you use? 🐦

@@TwistedJake Thank you... will this mixture attract flies???? 🤔
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD It doesn't for me. I just fill their feeder and hang them. I've never seen flies at them.
@@TwistedJake oh thank you 😊 ☺️ we will try your recipe!
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD I've had a few hummingbirds basically living in my backyard since doing this. They are loving the food.
Hows it working?
So far so good but I haven't actually put a voltmeter back on it. I will next week or so once we hit the month mark.
@@TwistedJake 👍
thanks for the video! any updates?
No update yet other than it is working fine. I'm almost to the month mark where I want to do a voltage test.
RIP alternator

Very uninformed comment
How about you only type on what you know. Don't make a fool out of yourself.
