Why do cars use alternators instead of generators?
Cars don't use generators because the batery is already generating energy. They use alternators in order to convert the energy generated into a usable form.
How are alternators classified?
alternators are classified as stators and rotors
Can you generate direct current?
Direct current can be generated by a generator. Generators are not as efficient as alternators ( that generated AC power ). Vehicles use direct current but come equipped with alternators. The AC power is rectified ( changed to DC ) for use.
Where do they sell Transformers Alternators in stores?
Firstly, no you must not pick the particular Alternators
A certain airplane has two independent alternators to provide electrical power The probability?
Two alternators are used as a safety measure. The probability of both alternator failing are very minimal. Many planes use redundant systems.
Why ac is not uses in rotor of alternators?
This question is not clear since alternators produce alternating current.
What if your 1998 peterbilt is burning up alternators?
Make sure the alternators are properly installed and aligned.
Why do cars keep blowing alternators after alternators?

Where can one research prices for used alternators?
One can research the prices of used alternators by going online and looking up alternators of the right sort on Amazon. There are various different merchants there so they will have various prices.
Do stators act as alternators?
Yes.
What is the difference between alternators and dynamos?
Alternators produce AC, which is rectified by diodes if DC is needed. Dynamos produce DC by using a commutator.
When 2 alternators are connected in parallel what is the resultant terminal voltage of the two alternators?
Since the alternators are in parallel, the resultant voltage should be the same as either alternator - exactly as it would be if two batteries are connected in parallel. Voltage remains the same but current capacity is doubled. I would recommend connecting the alternators through a network that will balance the load between them.
