Why dont you connect an alternator to a generator to utilize a transformer to multiply the power out put for an infinite power supply?

an alternator is essentially a generator that converts the kinetic energy from the combustion engine in your car into electrical energy to recharge your battery. To answer your question about connecting a generator to another generator to create limitless energy there is always a loss of energy during the conversion process usually due to friction. In theory it is possible but there is no pure conversion of one form of energy to another in real world application. There will always be a loss of energy in some form.


Why does adding oil increases efficiency?

The purpose of adding oil to a car i to lubricate the engine. if the engine is not lubricated there will be much more friction between gears and friction generates heat. because energy is needed to create heat that energy is taken away from the energy that would be propelling the car forward. this causes the efficiency yo drop.


Why do engines get hot?

The energy produced by the engine is mostly used to power the car, but due to an imperfect design, some energy still remains in the form of heat.


When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?

Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.


What is waste to energy conversion?

Waste to Energy Conversion is when you take waste (the combustible parts of household garbage, for example, that cannot be otherwise recycled) and burn it to run an electricity generator. Then you have used waste to make energy.

Why is the transfer of energy so important?

Movement of energy from one place to another or from one substance to another, or the conversion of energy from one form to another. For example, in a car engine, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to kinetic (motion), heat, and sound energy.
