Making progress on my home made induction generator.

Weak spark on the engine making it miss fire. I need more capacitors though, only making about 3 volts at this point
If any one is curious, if you turn an electric motor at slightly more then its rated RPM, and add RUN (not start) capacitors in parallel with the AC input, it will turn it into a generator. It will power anything, including TVs, power drills, toasters, lights. The only thing it can't power is other induction motors however (such as air compressors, air conditioners, etc)

Well...I'm at work...but...there aren't a whole lot of customers these days to help. Management...in all their wisdom...decided we needed a few new salespeople...like the beer commercial said...BRILLIANT!!!
