Michael1919 Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I have an old car alternator , is it possible to convert it to DC motor which will have permanent magnets on the rotor , I have seen on the Internet so that it can work in the generator mode , can and in motor mode ?The stator's coil acting in bad condition, all three wires are breaking with the coil , I soldered them , can it will be able to do correctly. I questioned a diode , coil and the place where the soldered, and it shows that OK. I'm all that disassembled and pulled out, and when connect stator to the battery , there is no magnetic force of attraction , put the rotor in, or other ferometal and no attractive, whether it is a bad sign , whether there should be a force of attraction, I still don't have magnets and ask from this reason? BLDC is probably a better option , but for me, more complicated and more expensive, I also damaged the rotor's coil.I am sorry for my bad english. Greetings Edited August 10, 2016 by Michael1919
Externet Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Welcome. The amount of effort, time, sweat, tears and money to do such conversion for a novice can be beaten over 100-to-1 by getting a motor from a wreck car boneyard for a couple of dollars. Starter, window actuator, blower fans,... Feeding 12VDC into the stator from the external + terminal will produce no magnetism as there is built-in diodes preventing current. Study how it works first, then for a learning experience go ahead for a chance of frustration. It was made as alternator; and that is what is supposed to be for.
