How much current do you need this device to provide?

about 60 amps

[COLOR="rgb(255, 140, 0)"] How much filtering does the 36V need to have[/color],

it needs to be dc
if need be i can put a 5 farad cap on it to smooth the bumps to straight dc


[COLOR="rgb(255, 140, 0)"]
and how well regulated does it need to be? [/color]

36 volts straight on or 38
not higher and not much lower




Have you considered buying an old Ford alternator that used the external voltage regulator, then building your own regulator? If you're not worried about short circuit protection you can build a high current regulator using a simple 3-terminal regulator (such as the LM317), a pass transistor, and a few additional passive components.

id have to see a schematic

thanks rod
