PART 3:
   • Building an Alternator Powered Bike ...  

In this video I will be showing you how I converted this old alternator into a motor for my electric go kart. The only reason I chose this alternator is because it only costed me $20 and it was still in fairly good condition (any 3phase alternator should work!). I I ended up wiring this motor in a delta configuration. Originally I was planning on comparing the motor when wired in a WYE configuration vs the motor wired in a delta configuration but I will need a more powerful battery pack before I can do so.
