I need to try it on the norman really will run it abit faster!

Can anyone advice on what else i could try, the voltage was lower then it should be! unless im measuring it wrong?

Anyone want to swap for a pump or compressor lol

Cheers Steve

hi steve....

is it better to have a big pulley or a small pulley on the engine you driving it from???

im not sure...

im getting the same amount of power as you are from my tuscan one i have.....

regards......mike.

Um big to small, as the engine will turn once for several turns of the dynamo,

I think i found out what im doing wrong, will try again today!

Cheers Steve

Sorted it, i need to connect the feild wire to the positive output!, im getting 18v at tick over on the norman!

I need to get a pulley with a key way though but this one will do for testing!

il get a video up when she cools off

Cheers Steve

Well its working!


Just need somthing to run off it! would like to save up for a search llight!

Mike, check your field windings, connected mine to the + output and it sorted it!

The sattley wont spin it fast enough on the pulley, will see if i can find a a bigger fan belt and try off the flywheel

glad i could help steve.....

mike.

What dynamo have you got Mike?

Cheers Steve

Tried the Dynamo out again, will look at tiding it up over the winter. Does anyone else get this issue with photobucket screwing up the photos?

Im getting between 12-16v on tick over on min current, with a bit more speed and the current set to its highest im getting 40+ depening on speed.

will try and think of what to run on it, Im worried that the voltage going up and down like that will blow what bulbs I put on it.

Sorry Mike I think Im going to keep it until I hear more on where im going.

Cheers Steve

OK...thanks for your reply...

will keep my eyes open for another one for my son....

now i can tell him whats happening...

many thanks....

regards...mike....
