Automobile Electrical Question. This is a HomeProject, I need a few answers?

I am building a Bicycle-Driven Generator. The Altenator has two small wires coming off of it; one is R and the other has a F by the Terminals. The Third Terminal is the Output. The Parts Dealer told me, both small wires (marked R & F) both need positive power . The Ground is Equipment Ground. I will not have a Voltage Regulator on this Home Invention= Fatigue and can’t Pedal that fast is the Regulation. I NEED YOUR KNOWLEDGE to confidently hook up these wires( R & F). This is 12 volts dc. PLEASE ADVISE ME.
feel free to email me at pahump1@yahoo.com Thanks

How do I connect an electrical motor to a 220V switch?

I have several pieces of equipment on a trailer that I want to test before buying a generator for remote operations. I have now a 220V SP 30 amp outlet in my garage (by an electrician). But now I need advice on how to save SS by doing the outside things myself. Do I need a regular switch or do I need something termed a “motor starter”? I have heard of push button starters? Other items are even less amps each. I will have a twist lock exthension cord from the trailer to the garage. I envision wiring each one to a box sequentially to run these tests but eventually will need a board to wire all of them for the field work? Will outdoor “light” type switches work if they meet the V/A rating for each? Or do I need a bunch of silver metal boxes/pannels/breakers? I bought a book for Home wiring at HDepot but there is nothing about motor starters?

Homemade Generator using Earth’s Magnetism?

A Boulder farmer, frustrated by her monthly electricity bill, decides to power her extralarge-
screen television set by using a home-built generator. She knows that the Earth
acts like a huge magnet and wants to make use of this magnetic field to generate an
electromotive force (voltage difference) for this TV. The generator is made up of two
large conductors coming out of the house, connected to a large sliding (conducting)
rail pulled by her two horses, as shown below. In Boulder the angle of the Earth’s
magnetic field, which is pointing into the ground, with the horizontal (ground) is 66o
and the magnitude of the field is 53 μT (micro T). The TV acts effectively like a 9.8 Ω
resistor in the circuit, and the friction between the moving parts is negligible.
(a) Redraw the set-up and show the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field inside
the loop, including the angle given above. (Assume that the North pole of a
compass, which is held parallel to the ground points to the right).
(b) The horses can pull the sliding rail at 8 miles per hour. How large is the
voltage generated across the leads to the TV? How much current flows in the
circuit? Indicate the current direction on the diagram.

(c) What is the magnetic force on the sliding rail? Indicate the direction on the
diagram.
(d) How much power is expended by the horses? How much electrical power
does the TV use?

So I know that the magnetic field of the earth points down and south which is simple enough.
The EMF is just B*A/time, using the velocity of the horses and the length of the circuit gives me a time of 4.2 seconds, so I can solve for EMF, being 0.0019 Volts. And I have figured the current using I=V/R which is 1.94e-4 amp.

Is this all correct or have I missed something important? These numbers seem really small for what the farmer is trying to do.

I also need to figure out the magnetic force, which is F=ILB, but I don’t know what to use for L, is it the width of the circuit or just the length? And how do I determine which way the current is moving if the magnetic force is bisecting the circuit?
Here is the link to the actual problem:

Do you mean the right hand rule? And if so, the field is pointing more or less to the left and down, so I think the current is moving counterclockwise. Does that make sense?
