Comments please: picture a scooter, small 50cc or something. The generator, pm, in this machine is hooked directly to the switch on the handlebars. If you try to jump start this, it will make the headlight glow, engine turning as you push it, doing, say 3 mph. And the lights go brighter and brighter as engine rpm rise.
Imagine taking this generator, (complete, with the bulbs now placed in my living room)and placing it on my vawt. Any reason why this wont work? No relays or anything.
Thanks.
Cheers, john j

Might post you own story about it.
I expect it won't work very well. Needs high RPMs, very low output.
Google Search the Board for magneto.
It will need a battery.

John;

It is considered rude and unfriendly to divert a thread to your own unrelated question.

Please bear that in mind before posting.

Just for your information.
