UFO I have the gen case set up for cw rotation. How do you think I should proceed with this next? What should I be looking for?

Hiwater,

Can you, please be more specific about your setup?

CW Rotation, looking from where?...from the brushes cap side or from the front pulley?

How many Stators on your setup to be tested?

How many brushes?

Is it the SAME, EXACT setup as I have posted here LATELY on CW?

Thanks

UFO- Clockwise rotation from the brush end.  Two stock stators as is from the factory.  Four brushes. Went and rechecked the brush positions,  so yes the same as the latest one you posted

TESTING OUTPUT POWER VALUES FROM DYNAMO AT LOAD AND NO-LOAD

Hello Hiwater,

Great, so here is my latest image (on CW) so let's both "align" and stick by it for your tests:

Ok, on the first tests, we will check: Output from both brushes sets (motor + gen) when we get the Dynamo to spin.

1-Both Brush sets must be measured separately, meaning, each set with two meters showing V & A. (of course, in order to read amperage, the circuit must be loaded [closed])

So, FIRST Tests will be at "NO LOAD", so we will only measure VOLTAGE Output.

In my opinion both sets should give you around the same V output.

First test : (the "weed-eater test"), I would like to see how much power both brush sets put out when you just wrap a cord on the pulley and pull it, while both are connected to meters, just like when you are starting a gas weed eater.

Second test with Dynamo attached to an external motor to spin it. Please be safe!!...you need an easy reach "switch ON/OFF" PLUS you must have a speed regulator on motor, to check on different speeds, making a "speed/output" list, like:

Dynamo at 1000 RPM's= Motor Set= 3V Gen Set= 3.5V
Dynamo at 2000 RPM's = Motor Set= 6V / Gen= 6.2 V
And so on, and please try to take it to the highest speed your motor could drive it to... (the "Ideal speed" would be to rotate Dynamo close to 5000 RPM's) to see how much Voltage and Amps these machines are capable to generate.

Now, I know on my Diagram (on TOP) I have a Negative Motor Brush right next to the Positive Generator Brush, as below is opposite, or a Positive from motor next to the Negative from Gen.(as image above)

However, whenever you spin this Dynamo, BOTH Brush sets should have the same electrical polarity right next to each other's brushes, OR BOTH POSITIVE ON TOP, AS BOTH NEGATIVES BELOW...please check on that too, to see if I am correct.

***************************************************

Then Second Tests would be to LOAD BOTH SETS OF BRUSHES, INDEPENDENTLY FIRST!!

And this is simple since you already have the Output Both Sets put out, so look for a Load that stays within those limits (Wattage) or VXA = Wattage.

First LOAD GENERATOR BRUSH SET ONLY with the right incandescent light bulbs wattage (please try to set loads ABOVE the Wattage they Output at Top Speed!!
Meaning, if Sets output 50 Watts, try to use 60 Watts Load, NEVER BELOW 50W.

And while you Gen side LOADED, please measure V off Motor Brushes, also at different speeds.

Now, do same thing but LOADING MOTOR SIDE, while measuring Gen not-loaded output (just V meter on)

Final Test would be to Load first the Generator THEN Load Motor, and write your Voltage and Amperage DROP, whenever you connect the SECOND LOAD.

All these tests will give us a very precise values we will be working on...

Finally, can you do the "weed-eater test" while both sets are loaded?

To do the weed eater test you must disconnect driving motor physical means to spin dynamo, meaning, if it is a belt pulley, take it off, or if it is a direct shaft to shaft drive connector, take it off.
This is done in order that Dynamo pulley is completely free to spin when you pull cord, as there will not be any mechanical drag to Dynamo pulley.

Last question, please give us your Delco-Remy Spec's as Voltage and Amperage Output from factory. I believe it should be 12V and around 30 Amps...

Thanks for helping here with these tests, and please, take your time, write everything, and if you can shoot short videos of tests it would be awesome!!

JUMPERS OFF FOR TESTING!!

@hiwater,

I almost forget!!...PLEASE, DO NOT USE THE JUMPERS ON, REMOVE THEM!! for ALL Previous Tests I have written on post above...

There are other tests that we will also need, but these tests on previous post would be done FIRST than the following test that I will suggest, simply because we need FIRST ALL these OUTPUT PARAMETERS, at NO LOAD and LOADED, before you proceed to coming tests that I will recommend next.

Thanks Hiwater for all your time and contributions here!

RELATED TO PREVIOUS TESTS: THE STATORS

Hello Hiwater,

Ok, so related to the Two Stators Settings for prior tests on your Dynamo:

1-Stators must be powered from ANOTHER (Independent) REGULATED Power Supply Unit.
You will supply to Stators the Factory set Voltage they operate based on your Dynamo Spec's (Later on, you will play with stators power decrease (while Dynamo is running) this should increase operating RPMs on Motoring Circuit.

2- Stators must be connected in series; in order to minimize the Currents (Amperage) and make sure the MAGNETIC POLARIZATION is set AS ON IMAGE, according to your electrical input polarization to the two main stator terminals.

Thanks
