To keep it simple, an alternator (like the one in a car) takes rotating mechanical energy and creates AC electricity. An inverter is usually just an electrical converter. It takes DC power (like the battery in a car, or camper) and produces AC electricity.

What is difference between turning machine and lathe machine?
There is no difference between a turning machine and a lathe. They are two names for the same kind of machine
What is the difference between 204 and 304 steel?
=== ===
Is there a difference between auto and manual alternators?
No, there is not.
What is the Difference between series and parallel inverter?
One difference between a series and a parallel inverter is that series inverters are connected one after another. Whereas, parallel converters are only connected individually. Another difference between the two is that series inverters are used in small sub servers, whereas, parallel inverters are used in main servers.
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.
What is the difference between the welding current produced by alternator and the one produced by a generators?
Alternators produce Direct Current, Generators produce Alternating Current. Todays' cars have Alternators to charge the batteries.
What is the difference between Alternators and generators?
Generators produce electricity as direct current and Alternators produce electricity as alternating current. As alternators produce electricity more effeciently, and they are smaller and lighter and are used in modern vehicles.A generator creates direct current in the manufacture of power. An Alternator creates alternating current in the creation of power. Alternators can have diodes installed internally so that they have a D.C. output.
What is plural possessive form of inverters?
The possessive form of the plural noun inverters is inverters'.
What are types of inverters?
Basically there are three types of inverters 1) Square wave Inverters 2) Quasi Square wave or Modified Square wave Inverters 3) True/Pure Sine wave Inverters The emerging trend among Inverters could be titled to Multi-Level Inverters which aim at the Increasing of Inverter Efficiency along with reduced Inverter Cost
What is use of alternators?
to run your lights and accessories and maintain your battery between starts.
How do race cars charge the batterys?
Depends on what kind of Race Car. Circle Dirt Track Race Cars Between races. Asphalt cars have alternators. Race cars have alternators that keep the battery charged while racing. Some dirt track cars have alternators some asphalt cars don't have alternators. Need more specifics.
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.
How are alternators classified?
alternators are classified as stators and rotors
How fast does an alternator spin?
Most alternators are designed to run between 2000 to 10000 rpm.
