Heres something I found last night on the web to do with generators. Find a used mower on the side of the road that works, and a few old pullies, and an alternator with two good cables for a battery. I'm going to give it a shot this spring just for the fun of it ROTFLMAO  Here is the diagram for the alternator, this could even jump your car if you need one ROTFLMAO  |

Great news!!!!! I found a pully and put ot on a old small 2 horse electric moter and placed it on the alternator and fired it up and it works great!!! I tested it on a 170 watt amp for a car stereo and cranked it up and it worked fine  I had to jump it from a battery and it worked on it's own |
