I will need you to message me your email address.

Actually in order to get the turn on time for the fets fast enough for an alternator spin 18000 rpm I have ganged two chips per fet. It took some careful reading of the data sheets, app notes, and articles to figure out if this was okay to do but it is.

I it looks like I broke the simulation tinkering with it. I'll play with it until I get it working again.

I have two separate circuits. One is the test circuit and the other is a reference to how they rectify alternators now. Changing one can effect the simulation output of the other even though they are totally isolated. I haven't figured out why yet but I think its due to the time step.
