  the rectifire has 3 diodes bridged in a way that the AC current from the stator passes through one or another diode in its cycle,

For single phase AC the bridge rectifier has 4 diodes; in our case, the stator produces 3-phase AC, so there are 6 diodes to form the rectifier.

Oooooo Correct my friend ... now do you know electronics ?

Cool.

No but this looks awfully cool -

That is really cheap - http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Phase-SQL40A-Diode-Bridge-Rectifier-40A-1000V-Good-thermal-Conductivity-/261297039737?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd6846979

That is the 3 phase diode bridge ... I want to build my own rectifier now.

Only problem is, it will be the freaking size of the tail light ... conservatively - maybe not. I prolly should open the rectifier and check ... I think the battery works as the capacitor, and regulation is only for over say 14-15v, cos below 15v you get the lower voltage, you even get as low as 12 or 11 ... so a 7815 works - http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/L7815CV/497-1454-5-ND/585975?WT.mc_id=PLA_585975

If these 2 are all there is in it, I cant see $5 in it ... I'll open mine if I find its bad. The original chassis can be used as a heat sink. So I guess I could make it to fit in the original spot.

Cool.

Nearly certain that rectifier has 2 schottky diodes probably 20A 100V and 1 7815. I'll know once I can walk ...
Cool.
