Car Voltage generator

[stickbowhntr]

It's probably been asked but I didn't find it. I want to make a home made generator for charging my deep-cycle battery so I can use with power converter as needed. Was it a Chevy one that most use? Any particular one? Thanks

I would think any car regulator would work for this. I've seen many set ups on you tube with an alternator and small lawn mower engine.

I agree JC , just there was a discussion on it somewhere and there was ONE that stood out. I don't remember the reason but was trying to discover which one. maybe just a bit higher than 14v charge???

GM or Chevy alt. is best. they hAVE INTERNAL REGULATORS . THE BEST ONES ARE FROM THE 1970`S .

Stinkbow, research "self exciting voltage regulator" for GM alternators. I know that sounds queer but I think that's what you'll need. Good starter shop will have em, and know answers to your questions.

Big to do at the meeting today.

Hey you don't have a Alaskan mill there for chainsaw do you ? do you now anybody to "borrow " One from Jeff?

Kinda miserable but kickin.

Yes I do have an Alaska mill.
It is the one that you mount rails to log, and mount this jig on saw.
Jig follows rails as a guide.
I'd trade about anything for it.

I also got a twin axle trailor, 10K GVW for a grand. Trail lite brand.
Wanted to keep it but I'm taxed out.
