It's nice to see what people are planing. I'd like to see a modified bike controller to serve as a controller for such seperate excited motors. The current limit circuit should be matched with the new exctitation current circuit. I thought some time about such a circuit. I'm willing to help someone who would like to develop this. First, one has to understand how the two current limiters of an Infineon controller works, to find an Interface. There should be some sort of "loop back" or current measurement in the Infineons, which could serve as this.
The higher the rpm, the lower the excitation current should be, the higher the phase current, the higher the excitation current should be. Is that right?
If so, one could just mix a tachometer voltage with the current measurement voltage (over a potentiometer or risistor voltage devider) to get a field/excitation voltage signal. This signal could then go into a PWM that feeds the excitation coils in the rotor.
Besides your thoughts about building a PM Rotor for these alternators, one should also think about double excitation, to get the most out of it.
About the speaker magnets: I know from a friend who alsways tried to squirt out the most of bass car hifi speakers, that many speaker magnets loose their field quickly if they get hot. Or do they only serve as field conductor? Maybe thats not the best solution. Also the field orientation looks weird.
