what about just getting 7 altenators spinning at the same time. That adds up to almost 110 DC. You could just switch to DC lighting. Strip a car out. One alternator runs the radio, lights, heater blowerbox, and all the other stuff in a running car. Don't go AC, go DC. Might be cheaper than you think.

Alternators are AC. Ya know, they 'alternate'. You can't series AC current.

The lack of basic electric knowledge in here is amusing.

But all modern alternators have built in rectifiers (diodes).
[/quote]

Regardless, you still can't series them.
[/quote]

And you can't series a DC output because?

Not that it matters most 110+ is made for AC anyway, while most DC is 12+.
[/quote]

you can't series a DC motor which is essentially what a rectified AC motor is because the windings are continually switching on/off as the armature commutes. Come on... use a bit of thinking.

Have you heard about capacitors?
[/quote]

Have you heard about inductance?
[/quote]

I thought I saw something on PBS about that very subject.

:chuckle:

If your point is about keeping pulses of DC synchronized then the capacitor is your friend.  We're dealing with the output of a generator not the internals so inductance really doesn't apply here.
