Good day all,
I'm new to the forum, but bringing some ideas that I'm curious if they have been tried yet, and with what success or failure.
First off, I'm looking at a low RPM PMG, something that runs in the 300 revs/min range. I've got 2 reasons to want this set-up, first is to gear down the drive ratio from a belt running the diameter of the flywheel to spin the generator head at 3600 or whatever speed gen head you have to a 2.25 to 1 ratio, where the listeroid is running at 650 or governed to get the correct Hz and voltage.

My reasons for this configuration is to reduce the flicker as the change in engine RPM between power strokes would be less disruptive to the generator speed, and the second would be to drive a larger Kw generator head due to the increase of available torque due to the gearing reduction as opposed to overdriving the higher speed generator heads, hoping to be able to drive a 6 to 8 Kw gen head.

Thoughts? Comments?  Am I simply bonkers with this idea?
Are there any members that have done any of this in testing?
Cheers and thanks for accepting my membership on the forum.
