then you need a little more rpm to get the alternator to charge above the battery voltage. About 13.5 volts. The average alternator is now between 1,300 to 2,100 rpm. I set up an old 35 amp alternator to run off a 1/3 hp 1,750 rpm washing machine motor at a 1:1 belt ratio. Using the stock regulator would stall the 1/3hp motor. I put a large adjustable resister on the field connection of the alternator.
A 1X CD-ROM spins 500 times, or revolutions, per minute (RPM), at its fastest (it spins quickly when the inner tracks are being read, and slows down to around 350 RPM as the outer tracks are read.) That means that a 48X drive might attempt to spin the disk at up to 24,000 RPM. At that speed even minor imperfections or dust can get in the way.
