Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

hi DT

welcome to the crazy world of make your own power . ..what type of alternator is it ?...with 6 magnets i,m guessing its not a car alt ,these usually have around 14 poles (fingers).... N-S-N-S sounds right though ..


sometimes adding mags can be only half the battle ...depends on the alt ... Edited by niall1 2009-06-28
