rpm makes a kit, its a alternator kit. a alternator is a external generator that creates current. Well a stator is a internal winding that is stationary and the motor revolves around it with magnets that creates energy. A stator can be rewound for more energy, but a alternator can produce more energy to run more gadgets & devices

I'm surprised no one has any answers for this. You'd think someone would've tackled this project already.

Re: anyone has a alternator?

I was wondering about the alternator thing myself because my battery got drained down when the wife and I went riding this past weekend and we were several miles from the truck.
