I'm afraid that project has been bandied about for years, not months, and it seems unlikely that I'll ever get around to doing anything about it. I just don't seem to have the time.... ;-( If I did, the current would be adjustable. > Now about the type 2 generator, do you think those field windings will fit > into our generator housings without blocking the cooling air hole?

I don't think that would do it, as that would only affect the voltage, which we already have plenty of. That's too bad because there's a lot more room for more field copper than there is for armature copper. It's still not clear that this would work, because I don't know how close we are to saturating (magnetically) the housing, which serves as the return path for the field. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
