Mike, this thread must be putting too much of a load on your brain power because you referenced me and I haven't said a word all this thread.

Entirely possible, but you were THINKING about posting, so I just got the jump on you.

If Perosi had just been content to smoke his ciggies and accept my "because" answer that alternators work via magicical forces, then I would not have reached overload in trying to condense electrical theory into a single thread. And it was not a very good condensation, at that. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good Luck,
Michael
