2. Magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

   The development of modern rare-earth magnets makes the simple magneto alternator a more practical proposition as a power generator, as these permit a greatly increased field strength. As the magnets are compact and of light weight, they generally form the rotor, so the output windings can be placed on the stator, avoiding the need for brushgear.

3. Alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

   An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto. Alternators in power stations driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators. Large 50 or 60 Hz three-phase alternators in power plants generate most of the world's electric power, which is distributed by electric power grids .

4. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)

   Alternator (silver) mounted on a V8 engine Alternator voltage regulator (brushes are worn out) An alternator is a type of electric generator used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running. Until the 1960s, automobiles used DC dynamo generators with commutators.

5. Rotor (electric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_(electric)

   An alternator rotor is made up of a wire coil enveloped around an iron core. [12] The magnetic component of the rotor is made from steel laminations to aid stamping conductor slots to specific shapes and sizes. As currents travel through the wire coil a magnetic field is created around the core, which is referred to as field current. [1]

6. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

   The first car to use magneto ignition was the 1901 German Mercedes 35 hp racing car, followed by various cars produced by Benz, Mors, Turcat-Mery, and Nesseldorf. [8] Ignition magnetos were soon used on most cars, for both low voltage systems (which used secondary coils to fire the spark plugs) and high voltage magnetos (which fired the spark ...

7. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

   The armature windings interact with the magnetic field (magnetic flux) in the air-gap; the magnetic field is generated either by permanent magnets, or electromagnets formed by a conducting coil. The armature must carry current , so it is always a conductor or a conductive coil, oriented normal to both the field and to the direction of motion ...
