    Yes you can, there are two ways: one is to buy this device:

    http://www.extra150miles.com/30trial.html

    (you will get 14.09V instead of 13.80V, energy comes from Kinetic Energy,
    not from fossil fuel)



    Two is to send your alternator to me and I will fix it for you for $100,
    you pay shipping on both directions. Recommend not to exceed 14.28V to
    avoid destroying sensitive electronics in your vehicle.
    , this method still consume fossil fuel.

    Good luck,



    Richard.

    What complete rubbish. Where does the Kinetic Energy come from, if
    not fossil fuel? Or is this for Fred Flintstone's car? And I'd
    submit that whether you get 14.09 or 13.8 volts out of your alternator
    matters not a wit.

    The advert is a hoot..."your car also must be frictionless"..."you may have
    to hire a good mechanic to get rid of frictions in brakes" Ah yes, that
    darned friction, always slowin' me down!

    LOL.


    To answer the original question, yes, you can get adjustable regulators.
    iPD www.ipdusa.com used to sell them, I think they still do. Probably
    available from other places as well.

    No link. ?? You assume common electronic regulator is compatible with car
    regulator? Another low grade expert.

    First your untested logic is only valid for those who make HHO (H2O)
    generator. Go tell them that there is no free energy in a vehicle, people
    still buy their product, that amazes me.

    Second, your Kinetic energy is not there, it is minimized by your poorly
    designed car, it is eaten up by your frictions. Do you want Proof? Your
    10sc car cannot accelerate in 3 sc can it? Mine can.


    Why you sounded like a self-schooling person, the world is black and
    white!! Why don't you send your complaint to BOSCH and ask them why they
    set their
    voltage to 13.65 - 13.80V?

    I bet BOSCH is smarter than any one of you posters, BOSCH is older than all
    your parents combined.


    BTW -

    BOSCH alternator maximum voltage is 14V, go read their label first and
    THINK before posting,

    Go ahead put adjustable voltage regulators(like LM317K etc..) on your
    alternator and come back to tell me your experience, OK?

    Let me see if I've got this right. James is on this board constantly
    helping folks out. His information is accurate, and to the point. You
    are trying to sell something, and criticizing him for not providing a
    complete link to an alternative product to yours? You are insulting to
    other posters, arrogant and rude.

    What's wrong with this picture?

    I believe you'd find "www.ipdusa.com" to be a perfectly valid link,
    if you knew how to use it. They're a specialty auto parts seller,
    focusing on Volvo and Subaru cars. They don't sell generic electronic
    components, just good qualtiy car parts and supplies.

    I gave the link to the company, it's not too hard to find the regulator,
    they only sell a few. Also no, I don't assume. iPD is a Volvo
    aftermarket and performance supplier, Volvo uses Bosch internally
    regulated alternators in most of their cars made in the last 30 years or
    so, and from what I've seen, the regulator is the same in the very
    similar alternators in most Saab, BMW, and other Euro cars of the era.
    They differ mostly in the mounting and pulley design. The regulator I
    mentioned seeing is specifically for Bosch alternators, though it would
    be easy to make the external version work with nearly any alternator so
    long as you can isolate the field winding from whatever the original
    regulator was.

    LM317? That's an adjustable series pass regulator, it is *not* the same
    as an adjustable regulator for an alternator which regulates the field
    current depending on the output voltage.

  13. What is the purpose increasing the voltage? Brighter lamps? More
    acoustic power? Faster closing windows? Hoter computer?

    So, now a moving car has no kinetic energy. A new world of physics.
    Of course, the rest of us know it does and that kinetic energy in 99%+
    of all cars comes from fossil fuels.

    It's quite laughable actually. We're supposed to believe that a guy
    who can't even write a post that makes sense has figured out how to
    remove friction from a car so that it has enough power to triple the
    0-60 time.

    Last time, wasn't it the water pump bearing that was supposed to be
    consuming 20hp?


    I have no complaint with Bosch or about my voltage regulator.. Nor
    apparently does anyone else here but you.


    You're the one that wants to screw around with voltage regulators.
    Mine are working fine.

    Let me see here...

    For over a year now, over 500 people bought FAKE capacitors without knowing
    the truth, and you folks tried to tell me and BOSCH that voltage level is
    not important and it's can be easily adjusted with any adjustable
    regulator, if it's that easy BOSCH probably won't buy a GB(Great Britain)
    regulator. You called my post a garbage, isn't that an insult to the
    truth? to BOSCH too?

    You don't know that I don't care if you buy my product/service or not,
    because I am selling them faster than we can make them. I was only trying
    to help you, two days ago, I heard on the radio, the Oil predictor said
    next round you will end up paying $10.50/gallon. I hope that won't come
    true any time soon. But when it comes, I will refuse to help you, I do not
    care for your devalued $$$$.

    Then be specific and give your Regulator's part # that you were referring
    to, don't be too vague and expect people to read your mind.


    It's not the question of " Where does Kinetic Energy come from?"

    It's The question of " Why don't you smart people put it to benefit you?"

    I think he is trying to imply that 13.8v will not charge your batteries
    properly, which might be slightly true, but my 940 produces over 14.1v.
    Also the original web site is gone now but I guess it was saying you
    should get more MPG with more voltage.

    I don't quite understand what the 'adjustable' ones are doing, The IPD
    description don't make any sense. How can you prevent light dimming
    when the voltage is dropping after the alternator/regulator, by
    increaseing the regulation voltage?? You would want to decrease it, you
    cannot regulate 'up' (without using DC-DC converter which is alot more
    money at 10A). Perhaps they are just lower drop out regulators or able
    to eek out a bit more current from the alternator but obviously this guy
    is pretending to answer some query in order to sell stuff.

    I do remember my friend as a short cut wired his stereo into the
    ignition on/off line to power the 4x50w. His dash lights dimmed along
    with the music. When I wired mine up I used a direct 12V supply to the
    battery and an ignition on/off line, and got a noticable quality
    improvement.

    Strangely though the OP has answered some of the criticisms, but his
    arguments make no sense atall, while he seems to be involved in the
    automotive snake oil industry such a HHO. I guess English is not his
    first language.

    I am currently waiting the results of a HHO generator test in 'Car
    Mechanics' magazine, the makers are claiming 5+mpg improvements by
    mixing in locally generated HHO (electrolising water using the
    alternator) in real time. But it all looks a bit too Heath Robinson and
    actually dangerous to me, they talked about frozen relays lead to
    explosions. I can't see how a 5+ improvement in MPG for free has been
    missed to this point, but you do hear alot about how the car industry
    like to supress this stuff. It is however more believable than 'free'
    power from kenetic energy.

    Have you seen the kinetic energy transmissions (KERS) they're using in
    Formula one?
    80 extra horsepower for ~6 seconds.
    Seems like black magic to me.

    The regulator in an automotive alternator does not regulate the output
    voltage directly as a linear series pass regulator such as the
    ubiquitous 3 terminal regulators used in many small electronic devices does.

    What it does do is control the field excitation current in response to
    the output voltage of the alternator. As load increases and the voltage
    starts to drop, the excitation current increases which increases the
    output to compensate, the other effect being it increases the mechanical
    load on the engine. The primary advantage of an alternator over an old
    fashioned generator is that the brushes that transfer power to the
    rotating assembly need only handle the current to the field coil in the
    rotor rather than the entire output as is the case with a generator.

    A standard automotive alternator can produce well over 100V if you drive
    the excitation balls to the wall directly off the 12V battery with no
    regulator. Indeed, it's a common trick used to run line voltage
    incandescent lights and power tools driven by universal motors in
    emergencies. Obviously one must first disconnect the output from the 12V
    electrical system before doing this, and it likely does no favors for
    the alternator but it does work.

    In a nutshell, these adjustable regulators allow one to set the
    reference voltage in the regulator against which the output is compared
    to control the field current, which allows you to adjust the output. As
    for reasons to do this, in many cars, the electrical system is not
    really adequate. Older designs that got more and more accessories added
    as they matured have more and more load on the system, and when you add
    to that aftermarket devices you load things even further. Voltage drop
    in the wiring and connectors that would be insignificant in a 120V or
    240V household circuit become very significant when you only have ~12V
    to work with, so sometimes boosting the stock alternator voltage up a
    hair works nicely to compensate for losses elsewhere. Really it would be
    better to rewire the entire car with heavier gauge wire and better
    connectors throughout, but in most cases that's not really practical.
