I have described previously the problems with my Revmaster engine and the destruction of it's stator. As I am slowly reassembling my firewall forward I've incorporated a DC current sensor and various ...

Thanks for the reply Bob. Unfortunately my GRT EFIS cannot read Thermocouples except as used for EGT and CHT. Therefore I am using small inexpensive readers off Amazon. I seriously doubt if they ha ...

I would like advice on which thermocouples to use on my Revmaster engine, grounded or ungrounded. The thermocouples I will buy have a flag surrounding the thermocouple end with a hole for a bolt . ...

Thanks for the informative replies concerning the wire extensions. I was able to locate thermocouples with 6" leads so I don't think that wire extensions will be an issue.

As I redo my Revmaster engine with the burned stator I plan to incorporate thermocouples to hopefully allow me to head off a repeat of the burned stator. In the past on both the RV and the Onex I ran ...

I believe I have the John Deere regulator in the workshop. How do I confirm what type of regulator it is. Is there a simple way to test it. Thanks

Paul

I am aware of the Lithium battery low resistance situation but also believe that the regulator must add to the problem. If, as I believe, the shunt regulator shunts to ground when the charge of the b ...

Thanks Joe. Is this a switching type of regulator. My original stator burned up due to heat generated and I want to make sure I don't repeat this. It is my understanding that the shunt type regulat ...

I need suggestion for a switched Voltage and current regulator to be used with a PM generator. I have a Revmaster engine with a burned stator which I am replacing. The stock voltage generator is a s ...

I have a Revmaster engine in my Onex which is not dealing well with my EarthX battery. The engine has a total of 12 coils arranged on the stator which consists of 2 each of 5 coils making up the dual ...

I am trying to decide on antenna location for my Onex. Since my radio is in the panel forward of the spar, I am considering putting the antenna immediately aft of the landing gear before the spar. T ...

I need to create CHT thermocouples for use in a VW engine. The engine has small diameter holes drilled in the head with a set screw perpendicular to secure the thermocouple. The drilled hole is just ...

Joe Gores was kind enough to produce a schematic (enclosed) that pretty much answers all my concerns about the twin alternators. Since my amperage needs are less than 20 AMPs we will keep the two gen ...

I'm building a Onex that takes a VW engine. The engine is a Revmaster which has two 20 Amp PM generators housed in the accessory case. I believe the output for each would be single phase. I read th ...
