Alternator
From Skoolie.net Wiki
A Alternator is a Electromechanical Device that is used to make AC (Alternating Current) Electricity Power. Used in Viechles, as well as Hydroelectric Dam's.
Converting the mechanical energy into alternating current is what an alternator created for. The conversion takes place as the belt of the engine drives the shaft of the alternator. In this process the electricity is produced from the machine’s mechanical energy. After which, through diodes the power is converted from AC to DC. The electricity is used to recharge the battery or batteries as well as power the vehicle’s electrical system.
An alternator without a load will burn out rapidly
