24V-48V alternator

[LEDQA]

I'm working on a project that requires 48v but we only need 3 amps (I'm not worried if I get more but the voltage is important)
I am looking to find a 48v alternator or 2 24v alternators to wire in series. Might even play with the regulator and just rev up the rpms.

So now the question

I am able to find wind generators for $600 dollars. Does anyone know where I can find some alternators for less than $300?

Thanks

Just use a standard 24V or 12V alternator and a DC to DC converter. They take in one voltage and current and put out a different one. 48V is a standard output because telecom uses it.

AC or DC?

Nice to know Keith, but I was wondering if the OP was looking for ac or dc power output!

Well I was looking for DC but I found what I was looking for at windbluepower.com.

What did you do to get 48V off of that site?

Automotive alternators are capable of 100 volts. The challenge is to fool the voltage regulator with some voltage divider resistors.
