Car Alternator Hydroelectric

Hello Chris,

This page is good. I think I can use a car alternator, the voltage regular and the battery. All this is always available anywhere there is a car.

I hope, or do not see why not, if I get the alternator to spin enough, it will charge a 12 volt car battery or 50 of them slowly.

This link is very good:

I wish I could surf faster, about 3 minutes to open a page with the GPRS Togocel.tg connection to internet.

I need to know the answer to this question.

How fast does an alternator need to turn to generate 12 Volt power for a car? Then, I make a water wheel that spins the alternator this fast, and I have power. My idea is this, I will let it float in the river and tie it to the bank, run a rope with the wire from the alternator to the river bank, then run a wire along with rope. It would be mobile and could be moved, I could also mass make them and sell or give to people in remote villages. Thee is alway a river, people live on rivers or oceans, and sometime lakes. FED by a river, there is always as best I can see a river somewhere in close to a home. Along the ocean they can live and dig or drive a deep well for water and the river could be miles away.
