Abstract
An electric generator organization, particularly adapted for small vehicles such as motorcycles, is described in which a rectifier mechanism electrically disposed between the stator and the rotor is mechanically connected to the rotor for rotation therewith during engine startup and disconnected therefrom during periods of normal engine operation. An operating circuit enables efficient transmission of electric current from the battery to starting coils in the generator only during the period of engine startup. During periods of normal engine operation, the transmission of electric current is from generating coils in the generator to the battery. Included in the operating circuit is an engine operation detector that prevents excessive current feed from the generator coils to the rectifier mechanism.
