Default Puget Sound/Seattle/Northwest Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

Got a new W for the W/C. It is Cambell&Cooper 86 proof. Pretty woody for a Canadian, but I like it.

let me rephrase that....what phase is motorized equipment?
A mini hoe is posed to show up here later on, about 7:30 is the rumor. The front end loader tractor is gonna be here at about 8:00 AM.
SWEET!

The Rancher is all cleaned up and naked [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Wild do you have your tools in the office? I need your 1/2 inch extension. After I torqued them to Brian Specs at OFC?s place trying to bust em loose with that 3/4 was futile. Josh do you have any kind of tapping tools. I stripped the hell out of a little hex screw. if you do bring it on over if not I am sure we can figure something else out.
Well Rancher torque specs are better than dirtmomma torque specs.. Wheels stayin on the quad are often thought to be better than fallion off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] well my new one is............................LOCK TITE & TORQ HAHAHA [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I FINALLY told Ron yesterday about my wheel [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] he was wondering why I needed to swing by & get 4 new nuts!! Then he started in on me & I shut him down!!! I got 4 fancy nice new nuts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Wanna bring the front loader over & pick up a hot tub(just onto a truck) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] supposed to have a guy coming tomarrow for it we'll see, hope he brings about 6-8 guys [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] that sucker is HUGE & HEAVY!!!!!
Then after that you can make me a new yard LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I thought all a rectifier did was deal with the electrical current through the bike. I didn't know it would change the Rev Limiter. That doesn't sound right though! A rectifier is an electrical</A> device</A> that converts alternating current</A> to direct current</A>, a process known as rectification. Thats from Wikipedia!Something that deals with coverting current from AC->DC should have nothing to do with your motor RPM
Or maybe I am just too stupid to understand.
I'm going to go out on a shaky rotten old limb here and make a couple of assumptions. First, lets assume the alternator in the bike is the type that is not self regulating since it has an external regulator. Some have both but that is rare. Second, let's assume the bike is using a shunt loss type of regulator that always uses some power to keep the system active. These use a small amount for this purpose but some is used. Now, with these assumptions in place the device advertising indicates it is taking the rotor/magnet interface and either moving the timing on it or simply shutting it off. Just as the alternator in your car will draw less horsepower when it is unplugged or not producing any power this change in the phase of the bike alternator would allow the use of less power. Since the claim is for a percentage of horsepower being produced as the increase rather than a straight horsepower figure it follows that the increase is related to engine speed. Since most alternators output is a function of RPMs up to their total capability it would seem this would be a reasonable way to measure the increase in available power. I would question the high number as it is probably based on the difference between maximum alternator output and zero output which would be seldom seen in the real world especially since the ad says something about "once the battery is nearly full". It is, I suppose, possible to see a usable power gain with this device but I would have my serious doubts.It would seem an easier way to accomplish the same basic effect would be to install an alternator cut out switch for those times you want really maximum power. This could even be tied to the throttle to take effect any time a preset throttle position was reached. Careful inspection and understanding of the charging system would be required to avoid creating unwanted side effects or problems.If a quad is keeping it's battery well charged and your not running a bunch of lights I would think the benefits would be marginal at best.JMO and I could be really wrong. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Well then allow me to ask this question/statement. Do Some/Most sport and ute quads have stators rather than having alternetors? B/c I know on my craptor I have a stator, which acts like an alternator but different. The alternator is like a parasite, in when the motor is running the alternator leaches power form the crank in order to produce electricty. A stator on the other hand is atached to something and the flywheel spins over the top of it. The flywheel has a strong magnet on the inside and spins around the stator which produces electricity. Wether you disconnect the cable form the stator you will still produce power caused by the magnetic feild, but it just won't have anywhere to go.

If I am wrong tell me b/c this is the way I interpite(sp) it.

I am calling on favors from friends favors. I am doing this without the help of the company I work for.

The mini hoe is here and $kllz took the key. He borrowed it from his boss and he is to run it.

I got a killer set of tools but I got to call a tow truck to haul the box... Regular pickup wont hold it...ray moved it on his stake bed but I had to empty two drawrs.. We can figure it out ...not like its going back together this weekend.
