Alternator to Motor conversion part two

[@championsp]

IMHO, the Part in the middle of the MOTOR alternator that has the shaft on it is the ROTOR which has two copper round surfaces which the brushes make contact with, this is called the slip ring. The stator is the laminations which has enameled copper wound through it.. seems that you were calling both STATOR.. I did work in the alternator dept at Ford Rawsonville Ypsilanti MI in the 60s. They made 38 42 and 60 amp small frame alternators and I believe in the 70s started making Large frame alternators which had much more current and had built in voltage regulators. The earlier alternators from the 60s had external voltage regulators... All the information you are sharing is GREAT thanks for sharing, very interesting to me. Keep it up you are doing well!

How do you connect it with six wire alternator

[@HP3.14]

Thanks. You helped a lot. I had a cable marked "Door lock" that needed to be connected to a positive DC for it to work.

[@MLFranklin]

This is the most complete video on these topics I've seen. You include the alternator mod, the field current control, AND how to hook it up to a controller. Beautiful well-edited vid. The only suggestion I can make is to update the links to eBay to make them more robust. The alternator ones still work as of Aug 2022, but the rest of them fail. Also, in the descriptions before the links, if you add more detail, we can search ourselves even if the links break. I know I'm nitpicking -- this is still an excellent vid and the best I've seen.

I have one of those batteries and I think, if I'm not mistaken, I have 2 of those controller boxes that I picked up at a pallet bin store. Now I'll have to dig them out and see if they are the same thing you have there. I have plans for the battery though. I'm going to use it for my TS100 soldering iron so I can use it portable.

[@royledford5673]

Would simplify considerably if you could recommend a SPECIFIC alternator to convert ie, the "single wire" GM then go thru the process for doing so. Also, I am interested in building an eBike that would be best suited to left hand drive, the opposite primary rotation as this one. Great vid my man, thorough and well-explained. I'm sub'd and very much look forward to more of the same quality videos. Call me weird but THIS is my idea of entertainment!!

it also reverses the polarity on the excitation coil when you reverse the direction and it will have the speed in the opposite direction as well

[@BTW...]

Reverse direction of rotation by; a) swapping 2 of the STATOR windings [changes the direction of the rotating 3 phase field] e.g. change from ABC to ACB ... OR b) the polarity connection to the ROTOR [changes the magnetic polarity of the rotor]. e.g. simply swap connection at battery. You may need to do this if gearing, pully or propeller configuration the direction is wrong. That machine will take higher voltage you know, especially on the rotor, BUT limit rotor current no matter what voltage applied.

[@oneeyemonster3262]

a 2000 WATT BLM is only $75-$90...With the SPROCKET.lol Okay. So I got a rebuilt alternator for $10.. by the time I go through all the song and dance..getting the proper sprocket. God only knows how much torque and RPM..it might be...So I dont really want to weld it..YET...i tried it...it works..but the 12V to rotor is hit and miss..becuase if you leave it connected...it gets more magnetgy.lmao I mean MORE TORUE...less RPM...sometimes it starts..other times it dosnt. FU$k it...I spent $60 on a 1000 watt Brushed.I assure you it's bigger than that damn alternator...with BRUSHES.lol (48V) Im a cheap bastard..I got an MX500 for $20...it came with ESC,36v batteries, breaks, pinon ( sprocket)...axle sprocket. It'll do 15 mph...the bike is a BRICK. I have rear sprocket from e 300 ( smaller)..for the crazy RMP on 12" powerwheels...35 lb contraption..for a 35lb kid. Hope fully it'll stay under 15 mph.lmao little kids can do 30 mph on e300...on 36v 10" OD tires ( 350 watt).lmao

[@eddies7883]

What do you think the rotor current should be limited to?

[@a0cdhd]

Regarding automobile alternators: The rotor is the bit that rotates. The stator is the bit that does not rotate. It is stationary. There are one or two exceptions but they are not applicable in the configuration described above.

The car battery is actually connected to the ROTOR via the brushes....the stator houses the three windings commutated by the controller. Other than that great video.

[@fakhrinshamsudin5713]

36V battery can be swap with lower voltage battery?

[@mo7217]

@@fakhrinshamsudin5713 the voltage is governed by the controller. You have to provide the specific voltage given by the controller specifications. A lower voltage meas you need a 12v brushless driver, which may struggle sincce it needs to handle a greater current, that's why a higher voltage is used, to lower the current on the controller. If you mean 36v to the rotor brushes you can, but you will have a highly magnetised rotor which the driver may not be able to turn. The torque given is partially governed by the rotor current, so you must give enough current to meet the torque needed, and no more. A variable current driver is typically used to alter the magnetic field but that adds complexity. Best to just use 12v as it was desined for 12v by the alternator manufacturers.

[@fakhrinshamsudin5713]

So a 12V alternator will work and not destroy itself if you use a 36V controller?

[@errolyapp4286]

Actually the alternator before the voltage regulator. In hi speed the AC voltage its become 30V or 36V. Because of the hi speed and hi frequency. The voltage become hi. After regulator the voltage output from the regulator it's DC 14V for the charging car battery.. From Malaysia here. 😁. Sorry if my English not good.

[@londonnight937]

@@errolyapp4286 Thank you for telling me

[@ProductionsExoTic]

Two questions: 1) I don't see any hall-sensor wires from the alternator. Does the speed ontroller use back EMF to time the pulses, or is it simply unnessacary to have have hall-sensors or back EMF to controll the motor? Also: I have a speed controller that looks like the one you are using, although I don't know if it supports back EMF reading, can I still use it to controll an altenator? 2) How much current does the rotor require (the brushes), and how can know how much current my alternator requires? Also: Are you using any resistors to limit the current from the battery, and if you don't, will it not short ciruit?

[@ProductionsExoTic]

Edit: I see question 1) has been asked and answered already.

I'm trying to find why my set up is not working. I believe it's cause I have a sensored motor controller. No where does it say that except the HALL SENSOR lead. Yours doesn't seem to use the sensor lead? So some of these motor controllers don't use hall sensors though the lead is there?
