I would like to build a rectifier / regulator for my motorcyle.
The magneto puts out 6 Vac so it needs to rectify it to 6 Vdc and be
capable of handling about 10 amps.
I would like to charge the battery without overcharging it.
does anyone have a suggestion or schematic
If the magneto has an isolated winding, a simple bridge
rectifier may be all you need to convert the output to DC.
You might use one made of Schottky diodes to cut the need
for heat sinking in half. I think that regulators for such
systems are often simple shunt regulators that load the
battery voltage to keep it from exceeding about 7 volts.
These are rather simple zener diode transistor circuits.
But they need to be switched off when not in use, if
connected directly across the battery. If they have their
own bridge rectifier, so they load only the magneto coil,
that bridge isolates them from the battery when the engine
is off.
I bought a bridge rectifier to convert the ac to dc, but I can't
figure out a circuit to control the voltage and amperage so that I
wont boil the battery
