Hi all, I need to convert 120v ac to approx 100v dc.
I have a high power rectifier (the type with a hole through the middle so you can mount it to a heat-sink)..
The application will be to spin a 90v dc treadmill motor.
The power will actually come from an inverter that is being powered by an alternator spun by a bicycle. (yeah, silly project.. but I still need help...)
(this sounds silly and redundant, but this project calls for such silliness...)
The actual problem is that the alternator has a 13.5v regulator, and the motor runs at 90v dc. Thus I need to UP the voltage drastically hence the inverter and rectifier are needed...
I have attached a diagram of a circuit I found that might be suitable..
So, any thoughts on this idea?
