   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.

3. Alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

   An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [2] For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature. [3] Occasionally, a linear alternator or a rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field is used.

4. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   The run-time for a battery-operated UPS depends on the type and size of batteries and rate of discharge, and the efficiency of the inverter. The total capacity of a lead–acid battery is a function of the rate at which it is discharged, which is described as Peukert's law. Manufacturers supply run-time rating in minutes for packaged UPS systems.

7. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   Fuel consumption is the major portion of diesel plant owning and operating costs for power applications, whereas capital cost is the primary concern for backup generators. Specific consumption varies, but a modern diesel plant will, at its near-optimal 65-70% loading, generate at least 3 kWh per liter (ca. 30% fuel efficiency ratio). [6] [7]

8. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   Battery chargers may be strictly manual, or may include controls for time and charging voltage. Battery chargers that apply a high voltage (for example, more than 14.4 volts on a 12-volt nominal system) will result in the emission of hydrogen gas from the battery, which may damage it or create an explosion risk.

9. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

   The main disadvantage is that belts wear over time, therefore belt replacement is recommended at specific intervals. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Replacement of the engine's water pump at the same time is often recommended, since the water pump is also subject to wear and easily accessed during the replacement of the timing belt.
