Hey guys, ultimately on my car hood I would like to mount a functioning chandelier with incandescent bulbs. I could be lame and use a power inverter, but I want to tap right into the alternator.

So, is it safe to say, that if I open an alternator and spin the shaft, while tapped into the stator's "fly pins" or whatever ... disconnected from the diode bridge, that I should get AC.

The alternator will only output 12V AC. You will have to use a transformer. Moreover, if the chandeliers circuitry requires e act 60hz, then you might have trouble making it work.

Hes using incandescent bulbs, there is no *required* circuitry.

>>60419393
Why not another battery in parallel and hook it to the alternator? If voltage is the same then it shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't drain faster than they charge.

This isn't about technology in any way. This is an auto parts question. I wouldn't ask /o/ how to install Gentoo on a computer just because it's mounted on a car.

forgot to say, use a transformer/converter from the 12vDC second battery on a separate cabling to whatever your bulbs use (100~220v AC i suppose), just to not touch the alternator and fuck it up in the try

There are LED bulbs that look like incandescent (unless you actually take them out of the fixture and hold them in your hand). Considering they run on 3, 6 or 12 volt (commonly) and use about 2-5 watts ...

Why can't he touch the alternator. Would he die?
>>
>>60423093
This, but I'd avoid the 110 volt bulbs. Too high a voltage for a car probably even legally let alone just common sense. If they must be incandescent use 12volt auto bulbs.

It's about a car part but not really a car question, I can see why he came to /g/ for it. /diy/'s definitely the place he should go though
