Hello My name is Fabio, I am Italian. I am interested in mini wind turbines, I came to this forum by googling modified car alternators.
I am making a mini domestic wind turbine, I have a problem that I have to start the rotation because it has no torque when standing.
So i was thinking of using an esc to run the alternator as the engine for a few seconds. My question is: do you think I have to remove the rectifier bridge anyway? I would like to leave it with the three-phase esc I can still wire the windings directly. Obviously when I use it as a motor I disconnect the DC connection with the load, which is the reverse when it becomes alternator.
Thank you for your professionalism and sorry for my English.
