Testing my e-bike setup with home made controller and alternator as BLDC September2009

Testing 24v to see if i can get more torque out of the alternator. Nope, not enough iron on the stator to carry a stronger magnetic field. So i get the same torque with 30A as with 60A. Oh ya, i burnt out a trace on the PCB. But that was easy to fix. Next i'm trying to get max RPM from the alternator to set it up with dual reduction gearing and see if i can't get the available torque to be enough :).
