2. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_belt

   Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

3. Alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

   Alternator mounted on an automobile engine with a serpentine belt pulley (belt not present.) Alternators are used in modern internal combustion engine automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running. [citation needed] Until the 1960s, automobiles used DC dynamo generators with commutators.

4. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically, most often parallel. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently or to track relative movement. Belts are looped over pulleys and may have a twist between the pulleys, and the shafts need not be parallel.

5. BAS hybrid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAS_hybrid

   A 36-volt lead–acid battery (housed in the vehicle's trunk and operating in a 42-volt electrical system) is used to operate a permanent magnet motor/generator unit mounted to the engine in a similar fashion to a conventional alternator. Then, through a high-tension drive belt, the motor/generator unit is capable of starting or assisting the ...

6. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

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

   Automotive alternators are usually belt-driven at 2–3 times crankshaft speed, speeds that could cause a commutator to fly apart in a generator. The alternator runs at various RPM (which varies the frequency) since it is driven by the engine. This is not a problem because the alternating current is rectified to direct current.

7. What does DOGE's IRS shake-up mean for tax season? - AOL

   DOGE wants access to filers’ data, and the commerce secretary says Trump wants to scrap the IRS. But filing a return remains mandatory — the earlier the better, tax advisers say.

8. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

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

   Timing belts are typically located in front of the engine and are often behind a cover for protection against dust and debris. However a few engines since 2008 have used "wet timing belts", whereby the belt is lubricated by engine oil to reduce friction losses by 30% and thus reduce fuel consumption by 1%. [7]

9. Talk:Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Serpentine_belt

   My immediate reaction after reading this: "if a single belt breaks, such as the alternator belt, the driver may not realize that there is a problem before the engine becomes damaged." This particular instance is not really a good example since a broken alternator belt will NOT damage the engine, merely drain the battery (by no longer charging it).
