Greetings all,

A question for the rotary masses! hoping to spark an electrifying
conversation

I am currently looking into alternator alternatives for my Renesis
engine, mounted on the back of my Aerocanard.

What are the options, mazda and others, the options for mounting, etc.
Is a rebuilt one as good as a new one,

Any experience with good sources, Ideas about pulley sizes, etc. Let the
current flow!!!

Thanks in advance

Rich


Hello Rich
I am getting ready to build an aerocanard as well. How was the build
process? Any tips you can send my way?

Warmest Regards
Franklin

I use two 30A alternators on the prop end, no risk of overspeeding the
alternators there and it frees the front end for the radiator air flow. I
have two electrical systems with two batteries also.

Rino,

Your installation looks great,  however I am a pusher and have scads of
room at the firewall and less than "0" at the prop end. Your
installation got me thinking-- which is always dangerous I think that I
misspoke, indicating "Back of the Aerocanard" I was referring to the
location of the engine. The alternator(s), will, of course be on what
amounts to the "front" of the engine, which of course is backward for
those of you of the tractor persuasion.;-)

I haven't heard many comments about types, rebuilt vs new etc as queered
in my previous post. Perhaps everybody is low on charge thinking about
the holidays. Thinking about alternators may recharge the subject.

(breath taken)
Franklin, where you located???
