At full field and normal cruise RPM with low load the alternator will
put out about 90 volts DC. This is enough to fry all of your
electronic goodies!
This is how you convert your 12 volt auto alternator to power your 110
volt electric drill with the flip of a switch.

That is a good point...bad regulator putting out high voltage. How high can the alternator go with a runaway regulator?
