Question:
If I have a motor that drives an alternator, is it possible to get more electricity out of the alternator than I put into the motor to turn the alternator?
For example:
I have a 12 volt DC motor with an approximate 3 to1 pully/belt/pully drive from the motor to the alternator. The alternator is a 12 volt DC alternator capable of producing 200 amps. Let's say the motor is using 10 amps at 12 volts DC. Can I get more than 10 amps at 12 volts DC out of the alternator?
Do you know how to change an alternator with a built-in voltage regulator from producing 12 volts DC to produce 17 volts DC?
