If I ever have some spare time, I'll finish my external alternator synchronous rectifier board that you mount in parallel to your existing rectifier. I have the design working beautifully in simulation.
Can you expand upon that explanation? I'm a bit of an electricity noob and what you're talking about sounds interesting. Are you making a way to make the standard alternator more efficient?
