- DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.....This video is just for entertainment and educational purposes. Alternator demo using a Delco CS alternator, this alt has a built in regulator and has a output voltage 14.5v to15v, 75 -105 amp. The induction motor is powered from home 120v ac current I'm only using the motor because it much easier to talk over and explain things unlike with a loud gasoline engine running. In this video I'm showing some the wiring and hooking up to battery also capacitors. I have done a small mod to the alt so you can use it with or without the built in regulator, with this mod you can us it to run power tools with universal motors also arc weld, and run the alt self energized. You would be hooking this alternator to an engine, of course you can just buy a generator which puts out much more wattage. This is not practical generator please buy a generator, let myself and the others gear heads build this stuff.

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*
Making use of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type
Good demo, thumbs up! Capacitors are a great addition to many electrical systems. They help inverters and 12v fridges get that initial starting current (grunt/torque) they need for heavier loads and are a great companion in a solar system.
I made a 6 pack of 2.7v 700 farad caps with Anderson plug & balance circuit for use with a number of things at home,ie, battery charging, 12v fridge (always on in 4wd), I have started my forklift & mowers with it and a number of other uses also. It helps greatly with 12v fridge in cruiser, as I have had a few issues with electricals, terminals , etc, getting enough volts to start fridge and they can regularly drop out on low volts if they hit about 10.5v @ compressor, which can easily happen with any small resistance in the circuits, so bottom line is the caps have stopped those issues as I have and Anderson Plug and H/duty cigarette plug on the fridge, I can plug the caps straight to it and the cig socket. Anyhow, thanks for the share, and I like ur vids.
Tnx for the info bro. Free learning from you.
Dude you rock . No one shows step by step thanks.
This is exactly the setup I have been thinking about wondering if it would work and it does so thanks for the video.
Cool! I was meaning to try this and you saved me the trouble!
Sir, you are good, real good at this. I am impressed.
thanks for this! I am building a 12v/120v a Gen using a self propelled push mower. this helps.
Thank you for this simple demonstration. You seem to have good luck as you have not burned out the regulator yet. Be advised that these CS Delcotron alternators are the most temperamental I have ever encountered. Just too many wires for my liking and you need to buy a special 4 pole battery isolator (instead of 3 pole) if you wish to use one. I am perplexed as I have already burned out a couple internal regulator modules while trying to adapt this CS alternator to a home built stationary power plant.

I think this is a great idea I'm getting ready to build my first one my plan is to be able to run multiple alternators to charge my batteries and maybe run it with like a serpentine belt if there's any help or written plans you could help me with please pm
Nice job indeed. Well done (i.e., tutorial + video). Thanks!
Just plug your light into where you had the motor plugged up👍
Yeah never showed how he had that thing going..
Thats what I'm saying . Is he getting the power from the battery while the alternator is charging it making it a full circle or what . If it did now thats amazing
There is no free lunch. The electric motor that is turning the alternator will use draw far more energy than the alternator can produce.
Old fashioned "crank to generate electricity" type alternator (just like them shakable flashlights that charged up as you shakedown them) with a compressor electrical pulley engine. Start up the compressor and it will automatically turn the alternator generating electricity so the compressor engine can keep on turning
Every one of those videos never explains what is provided the electricity to run the electric motor
Interesting channel. i love a good scrounge that likes to figure things out.
You are a genius ! Thanks for the video.
that's a HUGE EFING motor !!! dammn ittttt!!!
I'll bet it's heavy as hell thanks for the demo awesome!!@
When zombies attack and we are all stuck without power etc, im coming to find you man! Good job!
hey Kurt, does the switch have to stay in the on position in order for the voltage to travel through the system?
Hey thank you for this info I did this to my GEO Metro 93 Suzuki 1.o and it runs good thanks I live in Dallas Texas
GREAT video, one of the best I've seen on the subject, GREAT JOB👍😁
Am so happy for the teaching thanks
What I've been talking about! Thank you so much!
great stuff man love to have seen this specially after my car has burned two alternators withtin 2 months sigh
Well done, dude! This was informative, thank you.
learned and experienced alot, thanks!
Damn, that's some Frankenstein stuff. i Like, OLE!
Great video, interesting to watch
Could you possibly send me exact step by step instructions to do this ...I have a 77 dodge alternator I would like to use for this
I wish I would have found this video a year ago! :( Great video!!

i kept running over my battery charges so i built one like this with a 1/2 horse furnace motor ..can even run it off a chain saw and a belt if you are stuck in the woods..good for getting tractors going on cold days or if you air lock it and need a little more power
good explanation here. thanks to you.
thanks for elegance videos
can I have your idea that what is the best solution to use all petrol engine HP for an electrical generator?
attaches multi alternator through belt would work?
Awesome! I love technology!, subbed!
I am very interested in this process. I've been considering doing this for the past few months but I've been stressed for time.
What rpm is needed? I had a wind design just enough maybe to put a nice charge on a battery with no sun.
Excellent video. Can you tell me if the alternator always spins clockwise in normal operations, looking at the front of the pulley face on?
alternator will work spinning ether way
Clockwise
Epic video, thank you learned a ton!
Thanks a million 👍 glad you found it informative
is there a way i can put a speed controller ' some thing like a ac light dimmer switch , so i can turn up the power to deal with a heavier load , as i am a beginner so i wont to leave the regulator alone and dont wont to mess with transformers until i have learned the basics ' do rubber gloves really save you from high voltage ?
Good job
Question if where my positive wire hooks to the alternator(the one that goes to the battery) is really rusty could that cause my alternator to put out more voltage and less voltage at times??
Short answer: yes
This is great! I'm wondering how I can do this myself? I have plenty of alternators as my dad is a hoarder lol and he has a few squirrel fans is that what u were using connected to that alternator?? I really need to get the schematics for this I would greatly appreciate it!!! Your a smart guy and this could change alot of things for people like life changing things. Thank you for this video
Very good, interesting ,incoming we are, keep up the good work thanks.
What do you use to prevent overcharge or dissipation? I’d use a Stanley charge controller- maybe and utilize something for the power to run from battery and a smart system that will turn on generator with batter low. Safe no lighting bolts or battery bombs.
Also what about using a impact drill on the pulley instead of the motor to drive the pulley? I don't have a motor to run it. The alternator I'm testing has a fitting where there is a 6 or 8 pin socket present where the pulley shaft is.
This vídeo is great,thanks
great info man. good info
So the red wire you have there is the sense wire going to the b post on the alternator to sense the battery voltage?
I’m a electrical contractor, damnmmm makes a lot of sense. Wish you get funded
I did learn a bit..thanks
do you have a wiring diagram? That would be great as I want to do the same thing using falling water from a stream.
How about all the new LED tech, does this allow for better lighting and recharging on cordless tools????
Nice you covered the draw that’s an important thing to understand
Great video, really enjoyed it. Ps how about a step up transformer.....maybe?
Can a step up transformer or power amplifier be used to increase voltage?
Very smart man...good job..
Great work,
I might have to build myself a little power station someday soon.
love it!
Man I love this (August alscina)
Can you add more alternators to the same drive belt to increase the charging capacity? Also, can you use a 12 volt motor for a drive motor in the charging circuit? If yes, do you have an estimated time before the battery would run down?
You can add more alternators but will need a more powerful motor or engine to drive it. There is no such thing as free energy or perpetual motion. He is using the motor instead of an engine just for the sake of demo. It’s taking more power to power that electric motor than the alternator is producing. So adding a 12 volt motor attached to another alternator will do nothing except reduce you maxmimum power by the amount of inefficiency in the motor. To understand this, see if you can find some sort of human powered generator. If you have a DC brushed motor that will work. Spin the motor, then short out the +/- terminals and try to spin it by hand again. You will notice that it takes considerably more force to spin, and this applies to the alternator In this video as well. It’s kind of like trying to plug a power strip into itself 😅
thanks for sharing this information to us, very useful.
how hot do the caps get? couldnt you just hook up a different motor to the battery and run everything in parallel?
Thanks for sharing.
what if only two wires. how to wire. mine not work? can u explain please.
My question is would you be able to make one big enough power a Full House or maybe more
Cant see how ur induction moto is hooked up
Hi great video. Can you guide me on how to achieve this. The goal is to charge the battery like the other cars do and used the battery as the source of electricity to power something like a bulb, base radio and others. The idea is something like these... the alternator will charge the battery and the battery will power up the induction motor to make the alternator running. It's like an infinite loop. Do you think this is feasible? Thanks in advance.
good lesson thanks
Kurtscottage University of Electrics. keep them coming so educational. One question do you get a government grant for all the equipment.
Pretty cool. Try mounting a belt tensioner for the alternator and you may get more power also.
That's what the vertical red bar is for
Would love to know more ..would pay for a class hook it up
I had little follow from that alternator wiring but ..... where you got the power from the motor beside alternator....
Tnx for the info bro.
wat kind a capacitor can i use on my inverter 750 battery
I tried soldering my field connection with 2 16 gauge wires ...red on positive and black on negative and now when I try to hook up my battery sparks start flying as soon as I attach the 2nd wire. There's a short somehow! I disconnected the negative and clamp to alternator body and same thing...any ideas? Thx
Great video
Can you run the motor that runs the alt by, the alt itself with its AC, (need the alt to run at 60 hertz huh) and still get excess power, in dc or ac mode? A re tou getting such low voltage hold with your caps, CAUSE they are in series, won't you get more charge holding if they are in parallel?
can a 3/4 hp ac motor be plugged into an inverter to run an alternater to charge a battery
thats what i would like to no
thats a good question did he answer you

Hi there, you seem like you know a lot about alternators! Do you know what kind of resistance should one measure between an alternator's BAT+ terminal and the ground (case) of an alternator, while it is off the vehicle? I just had my alternator rebuilt but am suspicious of the rebuild quality, and I'm getting differing opinions on whether a there is supposed to be resistance reading between those points and if having a high reading (in my case ~2500 ohms) indicates a problem or not. I fear this resistance could be the cause of 2-3 hour battery drain problem which is a problem my car had been having before the alt was pulled. This is on an early 80's car. thanks in advance
may i know how many hp your induction motor ??
Hi , what voltage is that Induction motor ? and how many amps consume .? Thanks my Friend Great Job
Hi, what will happen if you plug the alternator directly to the inverter without using a battery?
My question is typical 120VAC 60 HZ drills operate under those pretenses. The alternator's frequency will be much less than that of standard Phase to Neutral voltages. The drop in frequency would not make the drill work as effective, correct?
Hi where did you find the big caps in hte background
5:40 Here is a little info, very IMPORTANT. '' eli the ice man '' where E=volts L=inductor/coil i=amperage current. Volts, leads current, in a coil/inductor
2. ' ice man '' where I=amperage current C=a capacitor (circuit) and E=volts Current, leads voltage, in a capacitor circuit. So, when he puts current, to those capacitors, the voltage follows. Remember this, it'll come in very handy , when thinking/designing '' stuff ''. Thanks, Mr. Kurt.....
lol that was awesome
請問那個燈泡是幾瓦的?
This is very impressive
Can you post the list of i will nedded to build like this .. i rili love doing things like this..
THANK FOR YOUR SHARING SIR.
I would like to know all the wiring as well. Wiring from battery to alternator to the motor I have a car battery, big truck alternator, and a 3 phases motor still need capasitor bank. I'm trying to switch from gas generator to one like this to run my house side of my motor home
does the adjacent motor supply by dc volt
What's powering the motor that turns the alternator? If it's plugged into the wall its not a self contained system like a car. Defeating the purpose during a grid down situation
Did I need to wire up the alternator to battery first to get the reading? Anyone help me
My alternator has that regulator but only has 1 wire, is that gonna be a problem? If so what's the solution ? And I agree with some of the other comments, focus more on the wiring of the alternator. What modifications did you make do and will it work without modifying it with a wind turbine?
pretty awesome! can you not find a rustier induction motor?
My truck got stolen and they missed up the wiring so bad . The there are two wires from the alternator and the wiring to the battery is hooked up to the junction box with capacitor. There is no solenoid the ignition to the distributor cap and anothere wire coming from the cap to the battery with a capacitor and starting wire. The alternator is not hooked up battery.
Starting the truck is tricky, turn the key on and filp a switch and then pull back on a leaver on the left side of steering column. Every time you turn on you have to popped the hood and reconnect the battery turn off you turn the key off and you filp the switch dowm and disconnect the battery.
Battery stays charged and i dont know how?
Great video How about one showing how to upgrade to the battery
But how do you power the electric motor? Is it just plugged in at a 120 volt outlet or what?
I wish you would have spent more time talking about the alternator wiring. It might seem simple to you and other people with pre-existing knowledge about this but I personally need more details and more through explanations. Respectively.
Wayne Workman juste plug àller the wire with the positif and your ok
hi my is kevin i con not get my to work what i do you have a phone number get me to talk to plaese?
my number is 07936144289
say kevin did u ever get ur alternator

Hey hi... What was the rpm of the alternator? And can we use air pressure to rotate alternator?
Its a standard alternator, so keep in mind that it will have resistance especially under load. if you intend to use air pressure, youd have to modify the pully to give it substantially more air resistance, maybea metal fin/fan set up.
+Sushant Rathod of course u can there used for wind generatord
+bradd ford thanks for the feedback...
+Sushant Rathod all I know is when the alternator is turned on it gives out 14 volts if u turn the alternator on and 12 when off. u can look into other things turn it inti generator using lawnmower engine. or try using old rechargeable drill as wind generator hope that was of some use to u thanks steve
ps good job man!!!
