Meet the Inventor of the Gener-Nator
Hello, I'm Don Allen. I am the Inventor, Designer and Manufacturer of the Gener-Nator®™. I have been in the Starter, Alternator and Generator field for over 40 years and I specialize in custom remanufacturing and change over design.
The decision to develop the Gener-Nator®™ stemmed from my experience with the increased failure rate of the OE {Original Equipment} Generator and External Voltage Regulator when saddled with the demands of more modern automotive electrical applications, or even the original system it was designed for.
Additionally, I had many requests from street rodders and purists for more power from the Generating system, without having to mount an Alternator and take away that nostalgic look.
The Gener-Nator®™ is available with different capabilities: 6 Volts - 50 AMPS, 12 VOLTS - 60 AMPS and 24 VOLTS - 40 AMPS. Also as Negative or Positive Ground. All Gener-Nator®™ units can provide generally up to 2 times more power than the original Generator. It also enables the addition of accessories such as Stereo, Lights, Fans, or AC, etc. It maintains a steady and constant volt level, so you don't get the dreaded dim headlights at idle as you do with conventional Generators. Because the Gener-Nator®™ has a built-in Electronic Voltage Regulator, it eliminates the problems associated with the OE coil type operated external Voltage Regulators and/or the CutOut that is used with the 3 brush type Generators.
The Gener-Nator®™ looks and mounts the same as the original Generator because it IS the original Generator (converted internally to an Alternator).
Having a Gener-Nator®™ attached to your engine is like the cherry on a sundae or a bow on a present, because it's the perfect way to blend the classic look with new age capabilities. The addition of a Gener-Nator®™ does not change the original appearance, which would be the case if you added a conventional Alternator.
Thus, the Gener-Nator®™ was born, a simple one-step application to replace the original Generator charging system with an all Alternator type system capable of meeting the high demands of today's electrical components.
