electric generator

Hi!

On my Vega I have an Albin motor to which a more powerful, car-type
generator was added for battery recharge.
I was thinking of reconnecting the original generator to a secondary
battery, that I'd use for some services.
They told me that the original generator is the same motor starter. Does
anyone know how it is electrically wired? If the connection to the winding
from which electricity is derived is the same that must be supplied to
start, then there is necessarily no protection diode. Otherwise, there must
be a second connection to the winding, through a diode to prevent from
current inversion. Or what?

Thanks for any help,

marco

Hi

What you have is called a DYNASTART. It is a cross between a DYNAMO and a
STARTER MOTOR. There are two sets of windings. One is used for charging (about
8-10 amps) and the other as a starter motor. Quite a few have been
disconnected
as a charger becuase the windings burn out when connected to very flat
batteries for prolonged periods. If youneed the wiring diagram then have a
look
at teh Vega Hnadbook, available from the USA Website or the UK Website (Try
www.albinvega.com then click on the correct flag).

Hi

Thank you for your prompt reply. I checked the schematics as you
recommended. I would ask you more, do you know if in the motor there's an
anti-inversion diode in series with the second winding or a thermal
protection or any other means needed to use a dynamo as a battery charger?
To me is seems that the connection is straight. In such a case no wonder
that it burns, the problem could be fixed by adding some simple elctronics.

thanks

PS
Steve, I am thinking of starting to produce a couple of products that seem
to work fine:
- low power navigation lights: they give the same light as the normal ones
but take a fraction of the current, and last practically forever
- a very low price gps system, that works on any portable pc
what do you think the reaction would be from the market?
