    Stator conversion to battery charge

    ...real meat of this mod lies in how the + from the battery gets wired up....but to get there, we must first lay out how the task of floating the ground gets carried out specifically on blaster wiring. As flippantly mentioned in mine and everyone else's posts, you just float the ground...

    Stator conversion to battery charge

    ...state w/o a battery, the blaster's stator puts out AC current. You need DC current to make your project work, this requires: 1. floating the ground https://www.blasterforum.com/threads/float-the-ground.64362/ 2. swapping out the stock rectifier/regulator...

    Quick Stator question

    ...a 88-02 working coil since i do not have a 03-06 with me and they are a bit more expensive. I've heard methods of doing this by "Floating the ground" and connecting a wire for the 5th wire. Can someone explain into more detail what this means or an illustration? I am having trouble...

    FLOATING GROUND

    Thank you I just got a rebuild kit yesterday with the stock jets in it...idk why they have different size jets in it....it has a fmf fatty and shorty but so does my brothers and his starts up and rips just fine....also Instead of a floating ground reg rec and battery to run led headlights can I...

    FLOATING GROUND

    A friend was arguing with me about the current the regulator is producing to charge your battery....isn't it still ac after it passes thru it? The battery is charged with alternating current and then producing dc to feed the led bar?

    Float the ground

    For the record.... technically everything on an Bike, automobile, or battery powered for that matter has a floating ground. Floating ground exists in any circuit not grounded to earth. Keeping the circuits independent Is what they mean because if you ground a DC circuit to a circuit that has...

    Stock stator wattage and voltage

    Stock stator is 35 watts AC . LEDS may flicker or burn out quickly if not converted to DC. Search "Floating the ground"

    Headlight upgrade

    ...can run DC LED strips and others say they flicker at low RPM's. adding a rectifier and small battery fixes this. (this is where floating the ground comes into play) check Trailtech for a rectifier and schematics to do this, any small 12 volt lawn tractor, atv, bike, or even alarm system or...

    Headlight upgrade

    BTW, floating the ground is the process of changing AC into DC

    battery location

    You want to search "floating the ground" . You need to get a new regulator/rectifier to convert the AC current to DC. I wonder how long a lead/acid battery would last with a small bar or couple of lights? Or a couple of li--po batteries for RC cars ??

    LED Headlight Conversion

    It's part of an LED harness. I drew it up this way so I didn't need a battery

    LED Headlight Conversion

    ...IF you want to do this right, the best thing would be to convert over to DC power. That would require a Voltage Rectifier, Floating the ground on the stator, and throwing in a small battery. There are quite a few threads here that people have done this on. I for one haven't done it...

    Float the ground

    http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/632010-kdx-convert-to-dc-float-the-ground/ Read the 5th post...Pretty much what I said earlier . That's the whole floating the ground deal to separate it from the rest of the stator which is ac power that's grounded to the frame .
