Joseph,
Nice work on the alt. Maybe you can try what Jerry does to get the voltage up:
Separate each phase; rectify each phase individually then series the DC outputs. Not the best use of a 3 phase alt, but at least it will make some power.
If my numbers are right you should get:
6.8 ac x 1.41 = 9.61 DC per phase x 3 = 28,83 volts DC @ 1900 rpm. At half the speed you have slightly more than 14 volts. Not bad for cheap ceramics.
As reference SWWP Air-X "Industrial" cuts in at 900 rpm ;)
