RV - NewInThePast

Welcome to my Rotoverter page

Updates... 

 I rewired my alternator to the following:

 And here were my results: 

Input: 5a @ 119vac = 595w

Output: 11a @ 217vac = 2387w

Gain: 1792 watts, or 401% efficiency!

Problems: I cant 'extract' or 'use' this power yet, but i haven't gotten a resistive load equal to the resonance of the alternator. I can, however turn the lights on for a brief moment (80 watts)

My Rotoverter setup details 1/26/08

Hello, can someone please help me, 

I am attempting to replicate the Rotoverter, but my attempts are still unsuccessful (in achieving OU). I will be totally honest, and tell you that i am a 15 years old. 

Aside from those facts, here is my setup details.

The PM is working fine:

But i cant get my alternator to work well enough to achieve OU.
I have heard many different things about the Alternator; and am beginning to get overwhelmed. I have tried  many wiring configurations, and none of them work as expected. I will tell you that i haven't read everything there is on the rotoverter, but i have read hundereds, if not thousands of pages on it.  

My first alternator wiring was as follows:

Only after adding 100mfd between 1-2, and 1-3 was i able to turn the lights on between 3-2. I used 3x 100watt light bulbs, to create a 300watt load. My results: Three very dim light bulbs powered by 150w of input, and a strained PM.

My second alternator setup was as follows:

I got self excitation at 117.5 mfd:

But my output vs input wasn't good.
