quite possibly much higher rpm.
you may have to gear down to get it into a useful and safe range for an alternator.
then maybe a small automotive alternator would be a good fit, some of which can stand up to 8+ grand and live to tell about it.
interesting project

I could try that, and maybe mod it a little bit because I dont like the idea of wasting part of the power to generate the field. I think that this little guy has the torque to start one effortlessly.
Car alternators are cheap and easy to mod. Ill hit a junkyard this week to see if I can find a cheap one. Hopefully Ill have something done by the end of this week.[ Parent ]
