Default Help, any gurus with alternator experience or knowledge?

Could you temporarily stick it in place with hot glue, just for testing
purposes? Hot glue should just be able to just peel right off between
tests and so on.



Probably long enough to start the engine and measure the current. I
was sort of hoping to get it to work without a test except perhaps a
coil alone - with a fixed dissipation.

Even the hot melt adhesive isn't a pleasant idea - run long enough to
get real data and I'd probably have the adhesive slinging off into the
stator or space between the rotor and stator - too risky to chance
that - adhesive being ground up would take out the brushes - unlike
auto alternators, this one has axial slip rings - any bit of epoxy etc
that comes off eats the brushes.
