Are the Stanley Meyer diagrams still available? Interested in diagrams for resonate frequency hho generator.

Yes, the Stan Meyer diagrams are still available. Look above where the links are and I have underlined and bolded it for you.

Great post.

I just received an 10si alternator on ebay rebuilt exactly like you describe with a (D10AC-1-2330-12V) regulator , i hooked it up to a belt that runs off my lathe. Could not get any volts as i measured and i thought i got ripped off .

I live in Sweden and had to pay $100 in shipping and about $80 in tax and toll.

But i feel reassured that i got "the real thing" as i read your post.

Its a brand new 10si and there is no magnetism absorbed in my rotor, is that needed?

Also how can i tell its a 4 Amp rotor?

I connected my battery and amp-meter just to the rotor and got a reading of 4,5 amps, is that right?

I also plan on gearing up with 10-1 ratio, do you think thats about right?

Once again , great post

I will be following with interest and i will post my results as i get my gear working.

one thing i forgot to mention is that you must hook a plug up to start the first time. the plug in the side has two prongs, one is for a "DUMMY LIGHT" the other is for your ignition switch.hook a hot wire to the prong that connects to the stud inside the case(when looking at the back of alt it is the one on the left). start the alternator until it kicks in, stop it and unhook the wire. Now you should only have a ground to the case and a + cable to the stud. when you reach 4-500 rpms it will start to kick in but it will not put out amps or volts until you reach 900-1000 rpm. 10 to one is too much 4-6 to 1 is better. I would suggest 4 foot blades, at least 6 or 9. 4-5 apms on your rotor should be right.

Oh and you have to have it hooked to a battery to get anything out of it.

Thanks alot.

Just checking that i understood your directions.

I should connect a lead temporarily from + of battery bank to one of the connectors on the side of the alternator (2 cable shoe connectors that says "R and F")

I already took it apart and checked it out and saw that these 2 connectors are internally connected so it should not matter whish one i use.

Ok, now i have case connected to - of battery and the "batt" connector and one of the "side connectors" connected to + of battery.

(is this "hotwiring" something i have to do every time the alternator lost its connection to the battery?)

Ok, i then crank it to about 500 RPM or so to get it to kick in? then i remove the "side connector" without losing the connetion from "batt" to + of battery?

My plan was to have a 400Amp battery bank connected (10 Lead acid 12v ups batteries that i got from a client as we replaced their ups) and i built a charge controller that triggers on 14,5 volts and opens a reyal to direct the charge to a water heater dump . i might have to change this plan and always keep the dump connected to keep the alternator charging.

I also think missouri wind and solar is a reference as i beleive they have quality products and ive had my eye on their 11 blade raptor design.

The kit i bought from "windstar850" on ebay included 6 -48" blades so it should be enough once i get them but the postal service has lost them somewhere.

Thanks again for a great post.

IT'S ALIVE !!!!

Got it working when i changed the RPM's of my lathe.

got a pulley on the lathe and a belt to the Alternator.

I just got 3-4 amps but the setup was really crappy, totally unbalanced and the belt was to thick for the pulley but im excited anyway because it started producing.

Been thinking about the rotor as i was looking at it an its really not very efficient.

the "triangular poles" overlap as they turn, that cant be a good thing. to impove it one should make new "square poles" so you only excite the windings with one field at a time.

but this is hard to manufacture with any precision and balance so i guess im stuck with this rotor for now.

Will keep you posted .

you just have to hot wire it once, but you must reach 1000 rpm i think. once you do that you will never have to do it again.

Got it up and spinning in the back yard now.

Awaiting results and high winds.
