Hi everyone!
Been a long time reader of this great forum, great place, great realizations and great people, or so it seems!
Now here's my thought that I'd like to submit to you :
To put it shortly : can a motorcycle Permanent Magnet Alternator (three or one phase) be reversed and used -given the right electronics- as an electric motor.
Being also an ICE motorcycle fan, I'd love to be able to electric start all these old engines that I have AND (more interesting) to provide an electric boost with a couple of LiPos...
Also, I guess if all this makes sense / is interesting, these alternators can be salvadged and used in real e-bikes this time!
But maybe some of you will make me come back to reason and explain why it cannot work...
Please please tell me it can be done! :lol:
Marc
