[Spridgets] How can you kill an alternator

[Randy Alkins]

One engine that was high rev that comes to mind was the older Saturn back in the 90's and earyl 2000.  You might scope it out to see if it would be a better option to use on a Sprite

  Each is designed for a specific engine/application so will have alternator rpm to match engine rpm.  Figure on an 8000 rpm engine in a road car - Honduh - to have a wide rpm range compared to the Sprite/Midget.

    My real question is this :  assuming the bearings do not fail, how fast can you turn an alternator before it toasts something electronic?   Is there a huge margin, or are they engineered near their limited rpm?
