Here's my home built induction
generator. I belted a three phase 10 HP motor to a spare
pulley on my VW. The capacitor bank is connected "C-2C" and
combines the three phases into a single phase.
Belt tension is adjusted by sliding
the motor back and forth on the unistrut. The weight of the car holds
everything in place. 3500W is about the max output so far but I hope to
improve that when I come up with a method of voltage regulation. RPM
is regulated by a Ambach governor that I salvaged.
