Thanks for the reply, I was talking about your hand drawn electrical diagram. I
was hoping to find an easy to understand diagram for my neighbor. He knows how
to fly an airplane that's it. : )
I have never dealt with alternators, regulators etc myself. I am trying to
build my KR derivative now, but my neighbor seems to rely on me for some of his
projects ! In this case I am relying on others. : ) The biggest problem right
now is in attempting to be true scrounging home-builders, this fellow is
retired and on a fixed income. It would be easy to tell him to run down to the
John Deere or Kubota store and get $2 or 300.00 dollars worth of dynamos and
regulators but I am trying to help him find a cheap and easy power source and a
easy to understand for him wiring diagram. On another group one fellow
suggested using an electric radiator fan from an auto junk yard as the power
source. His post I added yesterday, but a cheap regulator and the how to hook
it up is what I am searching for, for him. He is probably just going to make a
wind generator to mount under his fuselage. Whatever we come up with may work
for any of us in the future.
Mark, if your dynamo produces more power than you need or are using how do you
keep from over charging the battery?
Is the zener diode mentioned before the only solution?
Thanks for your help
