Guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 For running a car audio setup in your room. Instead of using batteries/car chargers/PSU's. Couldn't you put a real car alternator in your room and whip a little device together that spins a belt at 2krpm to spin the alternator pulley. Then from there, run your normal + wires and ground's to the amplifier. Thats a dumb theory...but it could work couldnt it? just throwing ideas out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Couldn't you put a real car alternator in your room and whip a little device together that spins a belt at 2krpm to spin the alternator pulley. the 2000rpm's you always read about is the motor rpm, the alternator rpm is A LOT higher because it has a tiny pully. I want to say alternator rpm is something like 5000+rpm's. so finding a motor to spin your alternator way above 2000rpms is going to be a bit of a challenge I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) why would hooking an amp straight to the alt be a bad idea? and hooking up batts to that would fix it, no? plus its just a theory, but you never know. maybe someone is crazy enough to try it Edited July 20, 2008 by Krannyman92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big P Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 good luck finding a 5hp electric motor that runs on 115v I have 6 or 7 sitting right next to me. Heres what you do. You need 1 washing machine motor. Free from the dump. harbor freight lathe pully Good GM one wire alternator. 1 car battery. Now your going to want to figure out how many rpms your washing machine motor turns. Normally you want a ratio of 1 1/2 to 1 or 2 to 1 So shop around for the proper size pulley 1 1/2 times or 2 times the size of the alternator pulley. You don't have a lathe like i did so your gonna have to magivor the pulley onto the motor some how. run the 1 wire from the alternator to the battery then run the ground from the battery to the the chassis of the alternator. for the mounts Ive used any thing from 2 vises to a 2 by 8 piece of wood with some steel bolted to it. Hope this helps : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 For the time and effort (not to mention noise!) you could probably just get a big-ass switchmode power supply. Then again if you had the bits sitting around I don't see how it wouldn't work Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
