The alternating-current generator, or alternator, is the electrical
system's chief source of power while the engine is running. Its shaft
is driven by the same belt that spins the fan. It converts mechanical
energy into alternating-current electricity, which is then channeled
through diodes that alter it to direct current for the electrical
system and for recharging the battery.
