In my quest for way more power on my big ole base I have come up with an idea.
I'm going to get me 4 yellow top batteries to start with. Then I'm going to get me two high amp alternators but instead of driving them with an engine I'm going to drive them with a three phase motor. I'm thinking of using a 1hp 3phase motor that runs at 1750rpms. You can buy these dirt cheap used, say under $40. I could build up a bracket to mount them and wire them up, no problem. Then I'm going to build me a couple of alternator brackets and find the right size pulley to get the rpms I need out of the alternators. I think I will be able to run some super high power through my base without having to mortgage my house to afford the power supply needed. I just need to figure out how to hook up a voltage regulator and I'm thinking about hooking it up kind of like an air conditioner clutch where the alternator only turns when required, either that or I'll just use a normal voltage regulator.
Oh and yes my shack has three phase power so that is no problem.
thoughts?
Here is my plan
