Would it be possible to get a diagram or how you have that alternator wired up including the connection to the heating element you are using as a resistor to keep the alternator excitation from burning up the alternator? Did you do any changing inside the alternator to get the alternator set to work? Please advise

Looks like a pretty neat invention. I would however like to see the details of how you set up the alternator or how you hooked it up. When looking at the video, I was looking as to how you had it wired and it went by before I could process it in my mind. A diagram or a picture would be great along with the video. Thanks!
