[QUOTE="69ST, post: 184036, member: 5"] That last line is correct...and what matters. Based on previous comments, I don't see how that schematic could be completely correct...or how the system could work, if it were. Believe me, I own a modded 6-pole stator that utilizes a floating ground. Without a full wave, diode bridge, rectifier to provide the system ground, there'd be zero output because it would be an open circuit. And, without a robust & responsive voltage regulator dumping excess voltage to ground, system voltage would spike beyond 30V just taking off from a dead stop...at speed 50V would be seen. Now, all of that having been said, one lead could be run to ground and that would allow use of a simple diode (half wave configuration) it'd probably still deliver ~35W but, that would require a BMF diode, make a lot of waste heat, and voltage regulation would crude.
