Well I'm sad to say the electronics still haven't been fixed. I bought those SCRs and they didn't work. I called ST today and found out the engineer is taking a 3 week vacation (its been 2 weeks already). I begged my rep to have the schematics put in front of some other engineers. He immediately apologized for the engineer taking so long to fix them. So Dan, my account rep, has gotten the schematics in front of some other engineers at ST to help me out. Dan is really motivated to help me so I thank God for his help.

Thanks for being patient you guys.

I finished winding up a new test alternator today. It is drying from being sprayed with lacquer. Below is a picture of it. I'll let it dry all night and install it in the Dodge tomorrow.  If Stan was idling his VW on 10 watts (5 volts @ 2 amps) then the 12 volt electronics should produce a lot as well. I just don't have any way to reduce the voltage from 12 volts to 5 volts going into the alternator. The 14AWG  wire (5 turns on 12 loops) has been cut out and it has been rewound using 23AWG wire (30 turns on 12 loops). It has taken me at least 5 hours and 3 days to wind it. Waiting for the glue, paint, and finding the parts is what took so long.

Only 1 phase shown in this picture, 2 other phases (3 total) must be wound.
