A while ago you send us a link of the installation of stator rotor
assembly between a mazda 13b engine and flywheel/damper plate a psru
This gentlemen made a full report with all details for the parts from
Harley Davidson as required and the installation .
Do you have any report from him about the testing .
For my point of view i would more rely on stator then a second battery
and the weight between second battery and stator should be close.
He supply all dimensions and step by step for machining and lot of
photos which can be helpfull for someone want to go this way.
Your comments will be appreciated

Many part will work. Harley's are rather pricey.

Out board motor parts can be used and the advantage is
the built in capacitor discharge ignition.
A lot like a mag as the engine will still run
regardless of a dead battery. It just takes someone
to make the flywheel holding the magnets.

If you want the simplest and probably the most reliable ignition system
get a two cycle two cylinder small outboard ignition system.
Fires the same number of times and 180 degrees apart just like a 2 rotor.
As close as you will come to a A/C magneto.

Down load the complete catalog.

Some of these stators are as low as $20 used.

The high voltage coils supply 300 volts for a simple CD system
and the other coils may supply enough 12 volt current for avionics
systems.  No belts.  If the main electrical system or alternator
fails the engine still runs.

This stuff is mass produced in the millions and extremely reliable.

I believe Jean was referring to an actual permanent magnet alternator..  Not just for the ignition, but to run the electrical system, to include a fuel pump. It's likely practical to get 20A from such a system. And you would no longer be at the mercy of battery maintenance to keep the engine running.


Matt-

You have that in outboards. Alternator and ignition. Boats need electricity as
well :) You have depth  sounders, fish finders, lights and radios.

Come to think of it might be possible to modify a conventional belt driven alternator so it puts out 300 volts for CD ignition as well as supplying 12 volts. Now there is an idea a car company can use.
