I built a model V8 that was similar to that one, but maybe smaller when I was a kid, but being a novice at such things, I could never get it to turn freely. A few years later, I was given a clear model of a rotary engine and that actually did turn over. Both had a little hidden electric motor to make them operate and the "spark plugs" were really little red light bulbs, but I learned a lot from them.

A generator produces direct current. An alternator produces alternating current like you have in your house but your car doesn’t use ac current so there are 3 diodes that change the 3 ac outputs into 3 dc outputs your battery can use.generators have an armature made up of windings spinning inside a housing of permanent magnets. Generators use battery voltage to make an armature of electro magnetism inside of a housing of output windings

I assembled mine completly a few days ago, it is still virtually the same since 1958. Amazing kit and display 1:4 model V8, it won an award in 2008, well deserved! Why can not Revell also start to sell the Visible Chassis you see in this video, with the see-through 3 speed manual and the see-through differensial? I was dicontiniued in the 60es I think, I guaratee Revell it will sell like hotcakes is they release it again. Today vintage kits of the Visible Chassis sells on eBay for about 500-1200$ depend on the condition. Cheers.

what the fuck are you all saying? generator produces electric energe, and alternator is an electric motor which rotates crankshaft and starts the engine. both of these devices are necessary and they've always been a part of Internal combustion engine

@EduardoHernandez-tk7fj 8 жыл бұрын

Sorry to say but no, the alternator is the modern equivalent of the older generators used on older cars. They are very similar in operation although older generators on automobiles typically output direct current where newer alternators output alternating current, hence the name. The device that +Keeree Dev is talking about is called a starter motor and is not the same as either a generator or alternator.

but current and voltage are directly proportional. So if you increase current voltage should increase. In other words it's ohmic

@missispiggie926 7 жыл бұрын

If you do not add any more watts then current decreases when you increase voltage. I * V = P If you increase V you have to decrease I so that p stays the same. To make a spark you almost don't need any current at all.
