QDrive is the only company I know which manufactures commercial linear alternators. Visit www.qdrive.com for details. They manufacture linear alternators upto 10 kW. But I guess they are very heavy!

The Umbra Group (www.umbragroup.it) also manufactures linear alternators from 700 Watts to +50 kW. These linear alternators take advantage of the back-drivable nature of ball-screws to amplify the linear input velocity into higher rotary output velocity which is harnessed for electrical power production. Consequently, these units are much smaller and lighter than competing designs.

How much voltage does an Isuzu trooper Alternator produce?

Alternators should produce around 14 volts. I say around because this can vary with temperature, engine speed and the age of the alternator. If you think yours is kicking out too much it's probably the voltage regulator. If you think its not enough it could be the brushes. The easiest thing to do is to pull it and take it to a parts store; most of them will test your alternator for free.

Do automobile alternators always produce electricity when the engine is on?

Yes, the alternators job is recharge the battery after it starts the engine as well as operate the engine electronics, lights, radio a/c and heater and all other electrical items the alternators output will vary with engine rpm and load. but the output is limited by the voltage regulator which will maintain 14.5 max with the amperage rating at whatever the alternators rated for. Example, at an engine idle of around 750 rpms the alternator will produce around 12.5 volts and around 30amps. when the engines running at acceleration or crusing speed of 2500 rpms the alternator will produce 14 volts and 60 amps. these numbers will fluxuate along with the demand and load. if you turn everything electric on the load of course goes up so the alternator produces more power to keep from draining the battery. such as if no electric items are on the alternator will produce a lower number just enough to keep everything going w/o using the battery.. hope this helps Jason
