Hmm. Will it reach a threshold of diminished returns, or will increasing the coil area begin to REDUCE the voltage yield?

CDI Circuit design guy? Probably in Austria or Japan... The bracket on the pulsar coil gets that pickup VERY close to the flywheel. 10 degrees would make it a lathe. Correct, the breathtaking photographs show the symmetrical mounting holes on the stator body, so it MIGHT be possible to...

OK, I knew nothing of the sort. And that's why I'm here instead of Facebook ; ) The designer/builder of these units is (at least theoretically) interested in producing a product that works. I'm interested in HIM producing a product that works. He's currently working on a newer version for...

Well, like...duh. I knew THAT.

Which raises another question (for me anyway)- Is it the number of coils, or the length of the wire in the coil? If the pole is just as "tall" and "deep" and we just increase the "width", that would not really increase the number of trips around the pole that the wire can make. You'd end...

PS: The pulsar coil is set a fixed distance (uses a bracket that is not adjustable) from the flywheel, and the coil itself is fairly new- less than 200 hours.

Fresh (new, rebuilt) starter, but thanks. So. Sounds like the number and nature of the poles of a stator are not a factor in it's ability to generate a proper and complete waveform for power generation? If that's true, then perhaps the stator body could be redesigned. If the "ignition...

Thanks for joining in! A typical stator- the "other kind" will put out an unregulated 7-28 ac volts. I've not measured the 3-phase stator. Just got back from a 150 mile ride. Plenty of DC power- with headlight and grips on, it MIGHT hit 11.9v at idle, but anything above idle hits 14 easily...

Ok- help me out, because I'm easily confused. It's my understanding (easily wrong) the single pole on the stator creates energy to power the CDI box. That power is then sent via the CDI to the ignition coil to be transformed to a pulse voltage sufficient to create spark at the sparkplug...

I suspect not. This regulator is used across for many different bikes and stators in his product line- I know it's not stator-specific.

Thanks for the reply. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this- my understanding is the ignition is timed via the electrical device ( I believe the technical term is a "Hall Sensor") that is bracketed immediately adjacent to the flywheel- completely independent of the stator, that senses a...

OK, thank you in advance for your willing spirit, and welcoming my as a guest on your forum. I'll try to provide as much pertinent detail as I can, please ask if I've left out anything. I'm trying to sort through simple physics, opinion and internet lore. Some of this detail is too much- but I'm...

Uh-oh. Just noticed your avatar...you're not in the business, are you?

Hi, berkeman and thank you for your reply. Yes, my electrical demands are greater than one's average dirtbike. Yes, I can provide you with all levels of detail- I just want to be sure I'm in the right place first. I typically prefer to offer something to an online community before asking...

Hello! I hail from the land of motorcycles, and I have a power generation issue regarding single-phase vs 3-phase system design. I'm well beyond my specific area of expertise, but need to choose a system wisely, as I travel on my bike off-road and well beyond civilization and prefer not to...
