    That's what I'm hoping will work. The biggest concern that I have is how to get the enourmos generator producing electric again. From what little research we have done (my bro is more book inclined than me) if a generator sits for too long a period it loses its polarity or something like that. I guess that was a common problem with the 6 and 12 volt generators that cars used to have back before tha start of using alternators. From what I hear you had to give the generator a little jolt at 12 volts to remind it what it was spossed to do. But where the heck does a guy go to find out how much of a jolt it would take to do this on something this size? Right now the argument between us is that I say it will take a major jolt, Hooda say that it will only take a little bump from a car battery with jumper cables. What say you?

    Hooda is correct but it needs to be the rotor windings not the stator windings. It is called flashing. All you are doing is establishing a weak magnetic field in the iron of the rotor (field windings). Try it first you may not have to flash it at all.
