My shaker generator is doing real well.. it gets a very impressive 25 Volts p-p , per pass ..
i also improved the end caps , two nickels hot glued together and taped to the end is all i really needed ..i also hot glued the springs to the ' rotor ' ..
Someone threw out a very large copier the other day.. i was driving by and saw sombody taking some stuff off of it..so i went around the block and pulled up , screwdriver in hand, and proceded to get some of the best free stuff i could imagine..motors OMG !! some of the best precision motors i have ever seen!!
and bearings !! OMG ! i'll be dammed if the bearings on that machine didnt fit the shaft on the junk yard motor i am retrofiting into a generator!! and not just a close fit either , it is a perfect fit..!!
and five circuit boards full of parts.!! power , logic, you name it..
:?: anyway, i have a question???the circuit diagram below is from
https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2005/04/syncrecapec2005-1.pdf
the irf website..even though it looks backwards ( the diode direction) i realize that they are FETs.. but i tried it the way it is ( with just diodes ) and it works..so my question is (why or how) could you use FETs in this sync rectifier??what i mean is the waveform looked well NICE!! and there didnt seem to be any way it could be improved by using FETs ..??? i mean there were no dead spots in the wave?? :?:
