I have been planning on doing an alternator conversion to a motor for a while and picked up three non-working alternators a couple of months ago but only got round to having a look at them yesterday.
They are all Denso alternators which I think were taken from Toyotas MR2’s. Two of them are identical and the third is similar but a bit larger. The larger one has a worn out slip ring as did one of the smaller ones while the other small one was seized, I think it has a twist in the casing.
I swapped the rotor from the seized one which had good slip rings with the worn one to make a good alternator.
All three are wound in star with the centre point available so are simple to connect to.
The brush holder mounts to the diode pack so I decided to keep the diodes and just cut all the legs to isolate the brushes from the windings.
It should now be quite simple to connect to the three phases marked 1, 2 and 3, and to the brushes at A and B (the two B’s are connected together).
So now I am looking for a controller, ideally I would like to use two 12V SLA batteries for the power source as I can get hold of some for free so my decision is do I go for an RC type controller or an E- Bike controller?
