charging question

[rodbolt17]

on the tiny mites its simply a rectifier. no regulation .
the battery regulates the output.
once you get a bit more current/voltage you now must regulate it.
for regulation you start shunting(shorting) the excess to ground.
that's why alternators have cooling fans and larger v6 and 4 stroke yamaha's use water cooled.
and yes there is a big difference between an electricians mate and an electronics tech.
the half wave recitifier uses one half the AC sine wave, the full wave uses both.
I have seen folks make there own with components from radio shack.
the other tech at work has a Chinese built motorcycle,cant remember the brand, but its now using the regulator/rectifier from an F50TLRC.
2 reasons. 1 is the original is apparently made from unobtainium.
2 is I had a regulator on a blown F50.

don't need much charging only using a space heater and microwave for popcorn.I have a chines dirt bike also 250 roketa I have beat the shit out of it got my monies worth for sure does not compare to my yz 450f tho.

Sounds like you need that alternator Rod has been asking about or even better that generator you thought about before

Um ok I was joking.

if all you want is a space heater and popcorn from the nuucker, go solar.
you wont need the rectifier until you ad air conditioning .

but its a simple 3 phase stator that puts out about 6 amps at WOT.

remember there is only about two ways to generate an AC voltage.

spin a magnetic field around a coil.

I kind of figured that, and so was I
