GAMI's supplemental alternator
This supplemental alternator is driven off an accessory drive pad on the back of the engine. With ample capacity to run virtually all primary equipment in the case of primary alternator failure, the Supplenator alternator will automatically come on-line to carry additional load in an emergency. No clutches to exercise or fail when you need reliability most.
The digital panel display unit monitors both alternators voltage and current. With new circuitry for reliable voltage regulation, load management and expansion for powering our electronic ignition system, the Supplenator alternator is truly state of the art. It's even self-exciting. That means that even if your battery shorts internally, the Supplenator alternator will self-start without the battery on-line to provide you with power and safety.
Pressure/Vacuum measurement is available.
Features:
- Built-in voltage regulator/alternator control unit.
- Easy installation - mounts to accessory pad on engine.
- 44 Amps maximum (14V airplane) current available in the event of primary alternator failure or as additional capacity.
- 36 Amps maximum (28V airplane) current available in the event of primary alternator failure or as additional capacity.
- Reliable "no clutch" direct drive design. No need to exercise mechanical coupling. No failure when you need it most.
- Improved panel indicators - quick, clear identification of online condition.
- Available for most 360-550 series engines, 14 and 28 volt models.
- Improved single engine IFR safety.
- Day VFR certification with failed primary alternator - saves AOG repair $.
- High capacity runs virtually all primary equipment.
- Lightweight - weighs under 6.5lbs.
- Electronic state-of-the-art load management.
- Required component of gami's prism electronic ignition.
- Self-exciting. Produces power, even with a dead battery..

Pressure Reactive Intelligent Spark Management
At last, technology that will not only update our ignition systems to the 21st Century, but will go beyond the multi-sensor automobile style FADEC systems of the OEMs.
Using proprietary hardware and software developed by GAMI, the PRISM spark management system continuously monitors and controls the cylinder combustion pressures for location relative to top dead center and for safeguarding the engine from detonation. This allows for the use of lower octane, unleaded fuels and improved performance at the same time. Certification is expected soon.
Read what Kitplanes had to say about GAMI's PRISM spark management system in this article on the future of AvGas.
Features:
- Optimized Spark Timing to achieve maximum brake torque.
- Simple: Fewer moving parts and a fiber optic design.
- Increased horsepower at all power settings.
- Smoother engine operation - reduces coefficient of variation of combustion - even on lean mixtures.
- More efficient engine operation - CDI produces larger spark at optimized time BTDC.
- Replaces both magnetos - no overhaul required prior to TBO.
- Fully redundant design - proven electronic durability with quad redundant ignition.
- Includes GAMI's Supplenator. Supplemental Alternator - back-up power to primary alternator and battery and GAMI's PDU Panel Display Unit.
- Automatic detection/prevention of detonation.
- Maintains lower peak cylinder pressures - reduced loads on power train components, longer engine life.
- Allows for the future use of lower octane, unleaded fuels.
- Champion® ignition components (spark plugs, wires, coils).
- Improved fuel economy- lower BSFCs than previously possible.
- Significantly lower EGTs/TITs for reduced exhaust system maintenance.
- *Optional panel display of actual real-time horsepower and torque.
- *Optional digital tachometer.
- *Optional extensive on-board engine diagnostic capability.
