|
|
Each quarter or so I always begin drooling just before the new Contact
Magazine issue arrives - great stuff.
In the latest volume of I read about a guy who added a redundant EFI to
a Subaru installation. That was inspiring in and of itself but he also
added a John Deere dynamo generator as a backup power source. I am
wondering if anyone owning an aeromotive has done similar?
If there was ever an area I'd like to have a backup, this would be it. I
have two batteries in my design, but perhaps that can be improved. I
would also entertain two alternators if anyone has attempted such a
design
Thanks

I've seen a similar unit fitted to a VW conversion, it was a Kubota small tractor part. (same part as for J.Deere but less cost) They are good for 8 amps or so, but not as smooth as a 3 phase alternator - they come with a simple but robust regulator which is adequate.
B&C make a similar unit and regulator. I guess as a backup you want to run it off a seperate belt.
