i have a small (6v 3w ac) bike generator that i would like to convert to 12v dc. any help would be cool.

 

hi dtporetti,
im moveing your post 2 the bikes forem it seems 2 fit there better, please lookm 4 any replies there

 

It can't be done. You would have to rewire the armature in the generator and I would bet there isn't enough room in the casing to handle the extra windings. I would guess you have a light that is 12v and want to power it with this little generator. How about doing the other direction and change the bulb in the light to 6v?

Correct me if I am wrong, but...

If you could get ahold of another one of the 6v generators, you could hook them both up in series, which would give you 12v.

 

That's just what I was thinking. Put 2 of them in there. What are you trying to accomplish??
