DC motor speed controller wanted

96terrano · 09-11-2012, 19:17

does anyone here know where i could get a speed controller for a DC motor? im building a little generator project and a need to bring the speed of the motor up gradually so the belt going to the T2 alternator doesn't slip....if you know what i mean

the motor im using is a 14.4v drill motor but i'll be using a 12v lead acid battery you find in alarm panels

also, does anyone know the rpm that a terrano diesel alternators needs to be spinning at to turn out the excitation lamp and start generating a charge?
