aaahh well I suppose I'll just have to buy more batteries then aye, or maybe a wind mill.
Thought there must be some kind of catch when I hadn't seen it done anywhere.
Thanks ya all for putting me right.
That's right as in electric vehicle.
I was thinking to send the charge from the alternators to the main electric drive motor while in motion of cause, or charge the batteries while travelling.
The EV has 24 x 6 volt lead acid batteries and pulls about 100 amps while cruising on the highway, so...
Thanks for the quick replies everyone,
I'm fiddling around with an old EV and was looking at getting a bit more range by connecting an alternator or 2 off the main drive motor if possible.
Don't know what the drag on it would be, was looking a a brushless alternator thinking it would be less.
Hi everyone,
This being my first post please be gentle.
If I use a 12 volt 100 amp car alternator without rectification and send it through a step up transformer to 144 volts will it be 144 volts at 100 amps or P=VI being 12 x 100=1200 watts/144 volts = 8.33 amps.
Help in definitely...
