As I am really new to circuits and electrical components and by no means any expert in any field, I do have basic understanding and knowledge of must stuff I have researched and gone through.
So for some background, I am in the process of building an electric bike with a transmission. My platform is a 1981 Honda cm400T that I picked up for dirt cheap. I am only in the testing phase and just want to see if it would be possible at all.
I basically took out the pistons and some other components of the main combustion system to see how easily it was to rotate the crank by hand. Surprisingly, it was easier than expected. My idea is to have the timing chain that was connected to the cam would be hooked up to an electric motor with a sprocket. The timing chain is connected to the crank in the lower end that is connected to the transmission and so on.
So my idea is if I could have the stator charge the batteries by the rotation of the electric motor. I'm not wanting it to be topped off like a normal combustion motor, but to at least slow down the draining throughout the use of the bike. I am wanting a 48v system to be charged by the stator, rectifier regulator, but from my understanding, it only regulates it at 14.5v on a normal gas bike.
I did testing last night with my set up and I did have 28v AC coming from the stator before the rectifier was plugged in at a lower battery output into a small electric razor motor I had laying around. So i am getting something from the rotation of such as expected. I have a video I can put up as well with my rough testing set up.
Is there any way to split the ac wires from the stator into multiple regulators and do it that way? I understand if you split it into parallel circuits, you lose the voltage and the stator can only output so much ac voltage from the rotation of the motor. Do they make a 48v regulator rectifier for this type of stator? Could I have a different stator to allow for a more ac voltage to be able to split it up into multiple regulators? I also understand the complexity of the perpetual motion and yada yada stuff. I am a mechanic engineer that is also wanting to dab into electrical stuff since that's what the world is going to.
Regardless if the charging system wouldn't work, I'm still going to make an e-bike with a transmission as that's the next step for electric cars.
