I'll test ride with a multimeter, after today, and I use a variable 6-46v USB 3.0 charging module I got off Amazon on a heat sync, simply buy a USB hub at Walmart to charge 2 devices

I have some experience with regenerative charging.

On my ebike I can use my motor either for power or for regen braking. With the braking I only get about 5% of the energy spent to get moving, back in.

1000 watts is 1.3hp. So you can do some simple calculations to see if it’s even worth it.

Let’s say you want to power something that eats 100w of power. If you power it directly with no losses at all, you will need .13hp to run it. But because of the generator loss of 95% of the energy, you’d need to suck 2000w of power to generate 100w through a motor. That’s about 2.6hp. How much HP do you have available?

I would run a 12v lithium RC battery, preferably a 4s 5000-10000mah and charge it as needed.

Trying something like this may be a better option, it's a generator. It will probably need a regulator and a battery, they have been on eBay for a while but I haven't heard of anyone trying one.

To much force broke the aluminum magneto cover I was using as a Mount....... I need to other re gear the Small gear to reduce friction or use a smaller brushless motor ..... the one I have now has a 8mm shaft

I've had one of these generators... It worked great when I was off grid and it's small enough to carry just about anywhere... So you have one fuel for both and not have all your eggs in one basket

^True I might do that with my next build with a bbr magneto cover, they thicker!…… this brushless motor is 2lbs or more, I think gearing is the key here, I'll fire it up when it stops raining all week.

They have billet cases and covers... RDM performance it's going to be a few years before you get everything... And $$$$ like crazy money... In theory it would be stronger and those have the most power to draw from...
You need a 4 stroke to have the torque down low the 2 stroke doesn't have... To make power... 8-10 governed hp... You can take 2+3 hp away to run some things and have enough left for something that will pull the add ons... ;)
