Your alternator does a lot to make sure that energy is flowing throughout your vehicle. This fine piece of machinery is responsible for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy that your battery is able to utilize. Lots of generators use a rotating magnetic field that establishes enough speed to create electric energy.

The process starts within the rotor and the stator. These are two pieces that work together specifically to create electricity. The rotor spins inside the stator. There is also copper wiring that was strategically placed in order to react with magnets and create electricity.

The diode rectifier converts the energy that is produced into a format that is utilized by the battery so that it is able to use the energy. This is a repetitive process that works to start your car and initiate every drive to and from Park Place Volvo Cars in Dallas, TX, and the Addison, TX area.
