RE: What keeps you car battery running? (the automobile alternator, working principle and application)

And just think before the application of the ignition system by Charles Kettering into the automobile we had to really crank the car.

Really??.. Well am not quite surprised some engines are still being cranked to get them ignited.

I am referring to the only crank that you had to place into the front of the car and you had to manually turn the engine over.

Yes i get what you mean.. There are some diesel engines used for power generation that are still being ignited this way. That was what i meant. Nice video by the way.

Thanks for stopping by.
