Convert the alternator's ac (alternating current) output to dc (direct current) and use it to charge up a battery, as is done in cars, trucks and many other vehicles.
<><><>
Another way to store the power from an alternator is to convert it to potential energy. This is done by using the alternator's power to turn a motor that drives a pump to move water uphill from a river valley into a big reservoir.
The water then holds the power as potential energy. When the power is needed the potential energy can be converted back to electrical power by allowing the stored water to run back downhill, away from the reservoir, and then, before it returns to the river, use it to drive a turbine. The turbine turns an alternator to generate the electrical power.
What else can I help you with?
Is an alternator part of power train?
No, an alternator is not part of the power train. It is an auxiliary to provide electricity.
What does a stator do on an alternator?
The stator on an alternator is used to generate a magnetic field. This is a large factor in the production of electricity.
Working principle of alternator?
The working principle of an alternator is like that of a small turbine. The alternator spins and a series of copper wires and graphite brushes inside the alternator produce electricity. That electricity is then transferred to the battery to keep it charged enough to run all of the electric parts on the vehicle.
What does it mean when the battery light comes on?
Usually it means that the alternator isn't charging the battery. Batteries store electricity and the alternator uses energy from the engine to produce electrical energy for all of the devices in the vehicle and to recharge the battery. If the alternator isn't working the battery will eventually loose it's charge and you will not be able to start the vehicle.
You have a 92 lumina van 31L it wont start or has any power you have bought a new battery weeks ago and it was fine last night it sounded as if it wanted to crank now it doesn't even make a sound what?
Batteries are just electrical storage devices. They only store what is generated elsewhere, in the case of your vehicle, the electricity is generated in the alternator. If you alternator has failed your battery will not be able to store anything. If the alternator is working but an electric component, such as a light, is left on it can use up all of the stored electricity and there will be nothing left with which to start the engine. Never replace a battery without first verifying that the alternator is working. There might be nothing wrong with the old battery and you'll have to get an alternator later anyway.
What provides electricity in a circuit?
The electricity source in a circuit is generally provided by a power source which can either be a battery or an alternator.
Which device is use to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Alternator = AC electricity Generator = DC electricity
How can you change energy into electricity?
By causing the energy to turn a generator/alternator.
How is gas converted into electricity?
By using an alternator driven by a gas turbine.
What is the function of alternator in automobiles?
It generates electricity to chrage the automobile battery.
What is Alternator in electricity?
a device that converts electromechanical energy into electric energy.
What is a machine that creates electricity?
It may be called a generator, alternator or dynamo.
