@infringer .If you read my post again carefully you will see that I am talking about an alternator from a BICYCLE and not one from a motor vehicle . BICYCLE alternators definitely have a PERMANENT MAGNET , NOT AN ELECTROMAGNET .

[infringer]

indeed, you did I stand corrected. Damn AC Delco's roflmao

How are the bearings in bicycle motors??? Heavy on the ferrous

I am interested I still have only found a producer of a single bearing inside the ac delco alternator but the shaft end bearing which looks like a cap I have not been able to locate sucks the big one with these two things I could potentially have a good wind generator...

Anyhow just sharing things from my tests that may help your build not intended to detour you in any way from your path to FE believe me!

Again enjoy

@Infringer . No worries ! To be honest I have never really looked at the bearings on a bike alternator . They are designed for relatively short periods of use ,but have to work at 20,00 rpm plus . Should be adequate for a proof of concept job .I am a bit disappointed that there is not more interest in this , as it fairly easy to build and holds so much potential . I am unable to build myself at present due to health issues .

Made a quick cap and it has quite a good capacitance.

Just one small cup of water and 1 tea spoon baking soda. Biased aluminum electrode positively with power supply untill current dropped to zero. Maximum capacitance I can measure is 48.1uF.

Very easy to adjust by just pulling the electrode in and out. Attached a crappy pic.

Not bad for such a simple setup that can be improved a lot.

You have made a resistor. Not a capacitor. Try to measure the resistance. In a capacitor, the resistance should be infinite, else there will leak current between the two plates.
The electrolyte cannot be conductive. Salt water are conductive.

At least do some research dude. The idea behind applying a positive voltage on the aluminum electrode before use is in order to create an insulating oxide layer. Yes there's leakage like in any other capacitor but that depends on the applied voltage.
