Hello all.
New to the group, unknown to all things electrical, kindly forgive my ignorance in advance of the question I'm about to ask.
I have an old car, and my intention is to use an old dc motor from a forklift truck, connected to the gearbox.
Ordinarily, this would be powered by a series of batteries, which would limit it's range, so I've been thinking about using either a 50cc or 100cc moped engine to power up a couple of alternators.
My question is, would I need to send the alternator power to a series of batteries, with the battery power going to the motor... or, could I send the power direct from the alternator to the dc motor?
Thanks in advance
Gav
