I want to power a breathable air compressor with an electric motor. can I attach an alternator to the motor to charge a 12v battery that in turn powers the electric motor?

No. It sounds like you are trying to create a perpetual motion machine. The problem is that the power you input suffers losses that are both mechanical and electrical so that the power you could get out cannot replace the power in.

Can a bad compressor effect the alternator or battery?
In most cases the air conditioner does not affect the battery or the alternator unless you are running it than yes, any pull on the electrical system such as a bad compressor that has been turned on for any period of time could more than likely drain a battery. Its not likely that it would kill the alternator or the battery, it is more then likely that if you find your alternator is dead and does not work it was on its way out anyway. But, by turning a bad compressor on you force the brushes and the armature to exert themselves causing them to burn out faster.
Can a battery be charged by an alternator while running an electric motor?
Yes
Why battery die while driving no light came on?
Check all electric system, mainly alternator. Alternator's brush may be worn out.
How can you find a connection diagram for an external AC motor to spin the alternator for charging a car battery?
The theory to " spin" the alternator is the same as spinning an air compressor. The ac motor, whether a single plase or industrial three phase motor, to turn the belt or chain driven item,alternator or air compressor pump. the schematic for an air compressor would give you this answer for the a.c.app.
What is the purpose of a diode in a car connected after the battery?
I think the purpose is so that the battery doesn't drain itself trying to turn the alternator as though it was an electric motor. The diode only lets current flow in one direction, from the alternator to the battery.
How do you remove alternator on jaguar x type 3.0?
First take positive wire from battery- take AC compressor gas out -remove motor cover-remove air intake duct system-remove positive wire screw from alternator- remove second screw from alternator same place as positive screw was- remove AC dryer hose from compressor for space -disconnect AC compressor plug -remove AC compressor-remove alternator =D then assemble everything the way was taking out dont forget to test wiring and making sure alternator is working 100% percent before installation and last thing is to put gas free-on and test AC =D - BRIGHT MINDS AUTO ELECTRIC BRONX NYC
How does the alternator and the air compressor work together?
THere isn't really any connection between the alternator and the compressor except that they are both driven by the belt. The alternator generates electricity for the vehicle, and the compressor uses electricity to power the clutch that turns the compressor shaft. I can't think of any other connection. They don't actually work together as if they were part of the same system. The alternator system, and the AC system are two separate systems that do not depend on each other to function, other than the fact that the compressor uses some electricity for the clutch, but if the alternator stops charging, the car's battery would supply the voltage needed until it runs down.
Can put in your car opel astra 1.6 8 valve model 1993 aircondetion pls help you because a summer very hot?
It can be done. You'll either have to go with an electric air conditioning compressor, mount a new pulley and belt to accommodate the compressor, or, if it's a vehicle with a serpentine belt, figure out how to route the belt and find the appropriate length belt. If you go with the electrical compressor, you'll need to install relays, upgrade your wiring (namely, the alternator to battery positive, battery negative to ground, and engine block to ground) to a larger gauge, and you might have to swap in a higher output alternator.
Where does the voltage come from in an electric circuit?
Depends on which circuit. It can be from a battery, or a device called a generator, alternator, dynamo, or a magneto.
Alternator replacement for 1998 Toyota rav 4?
Wear safety goggles and disconnect battery terminals from battery. Remove serpentine belt, then remove all electric connectors and bolts securing alternator. Replace with new part and re-install all electric connectors and bolts securing it. Re-connect battery terminals and your done.
Remove positive battery terminal and car dies?
Yes it does. The alternator will only produce voltage if it has a battery supply. The battery power is used to create a magnetic field in the alternator. Spinning the magnetic field induces an electric field in the stator windings. Then the alternator can produce power to recharge the battery and maintain the electrical supply to the engine and ancilliary circuits.Take away the battery, no electrics, engine dies. Plus, it can also cause an electrical spike that could damage the computer.
Why can't electric cars use an alternater?
In a normal car, the alternator charges a very small car battery as compared to the large battery packs found in an electric car. An all electric car's battery pack is very large and there is no alternator that is powerful enough and small enough to charge all the batteries while the car is in motion. For instance the main drive motor of the Tesla is a 3 phase 4 pole induction motor. It is far more powerful than a common car alternator. It is used as an alternator during regenerative braking.http://auto.howstuffworks.com/tesla-roadster1.htm
