Well, apparently youtube isn't liking my video file. I've uploaded it a few times now and I just don't get sound.

Anyway, the die grinder could not spin the alternator fast enough with the field coil powered up. As you can see, the voltage slowly drops on the battery as the video progresses. So, we need something capable of flowing more air or higher pressure, or both.
