Nice, but instead of trying to get the maximum
power I would prefer an alternator that would
be just large enough to handle a fast idle of
the weed wacker....the little critters are just
too noisy and waste too much fuel at high speeds.
Does look like fun tho'

Norm, I agree the noise is very loud, but 12000 RPM the weed-wacker was just idling. I will be adding my freq. counter to check rpms. At 12000 RPM the alternator can put out 1800 watts.

Joseph, are you sure about the engines speed? i'd say it idles at 1200 rpm (twelve hundred), and might max out at 12000 rpm, depending on the engines' size, but they seldom go above 10000 rpm.
