What Happens When You Add an Alternator to an Electric Car? Extended Range? Jeremy Fielding 106

Jeremy Fielding・2 minutes read

Attempts to create free energy through methods like modifying alternators with magnets or adding devices to enhance power output are debunked as they violate the laws of physics and result in power wastage, showcasing the impossibility of perpetual motion and over Unity machines. Connecting alternators to generate free energy in cars actually causes power wastage by requiring the motor to work harder and reducing overall mileage, refuting claims of endless energy generation and emphasizing the importance of understanding the basic principles of physics.

Insights

  • Connecting an alternator to a motor in attempts to create perpetual motion or free energy is debunked due to the fundamental law of physics stating energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, making the concept unattainable.
  • Altering or adding components like neodymium magnets, capacitors, or transformers to the system does not change the fact that the idea of generating free energy is flawed, as any additional elements only result in power wastage rather than actual energy generation, highlighting the inefficacy of such methods.

Recent questions

  • Can an alternator connected to a motor create infinite energy?

    No, connecting an alternator to a motor does not create infinite energy. The idea of perpetual motion machines is debunked by the fundamental law of physics that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. In reality, the alternator requires power to spin, and adding it to a system will result in power wastage rather than generating more energy.

  • Do silent alternators exist in the market?

    Silent alternators are likely faked as manufacturers balance motors to reduce vibration and noise. The concept of silent alternators is often used in free energy scams on YouTube, but in reality, the idea of creating a completely silent alternator is not feasible due to the nature of motor operation.

  • Can adding capacitors or transformers increase power output?

    No, adding capacitors or transformers to a system does not change the fact that the idea of perpetual motion is flawed. While suggestions like these may be proposed in free energy scams, the fundamental principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed still applies, debunking the possibility of generating more power through such additions.

  • Is it possible to generate free energy by attaching an alternator to a car's wheels?

    Attaching an alternator to a car's wheels does not generate free energy. In reality, this creates a braking effect on the car rather than producing additional energy. The process of regenerative braking in electric cars temporarily turns the motor into a generator to recapture some wasted energy, but it does not result in free energy generation.

  • Do gears and pulleys increase power output in a system?

    Gears and pulleys allow for trading speed for torque but do not increase power output. While these components can be used to adjust the mechanical advantage in a system, they do not generate additional energy. The idea of multiplying power output through mechanical arrangements is debunked by the fundamental law of physics that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Debunking Free Energy Myths on YouTube

  • Free energy scams on YouTube often involve connecting an alternator to a motor to create an infinite loop of energy.
  • Modifying an alternator with neodymium magnets is a common fake method, but it doesn't work as electromagnets are more powerful.
  • Manufacturers balance motors to reduce vibration and noise, so silent alternators are likely faked.
  • Adding an alternator to an electric car to create perpetual motion doesn't work, as it wastes more energy than it adds.
  • Suggestions like adding capacitors or transformers to the system don't change the fact that the idea is flawed.
  • Gears and pulleys allow for trading speed for torque, but they don't increase power output.
  • Adding devices like flywheels or transformers to the system only waste power, not generate more.
  • Using multiple batteries or connecting the alternator to the car's kinetic energy also results in power wastage.
  • Attaching an alternator to the wheels of a car creates a braking effect, not free energy.
  • Regenerative braking in electric cars temporarily turns the motor into a generator to recapture some wasted energy, extending the car's range.

"Alternators in Cars: Power Wastage Explained"

  • To use up kinetic energy from a car, the motor can be turned into a generator to dump power into batteries, but this process also slows down the car as alternators or electric motors are used to absorb power from the car, resulting in some power wastage.
  • When spinning the alternator, force is required to do so, acting as a brake on the car if power is drawn out of it while the car is rolling, showcasing that alternators need power to spin and do not free spin.
  • Electric motors draw power matching their output, as demonstrated by a power meter showing the power required to keep the motor spinning at a certain speed, with the alternator requiring additional power when connected to a load, debunking the idea of perpetual motion.
  • The alternator requires power to spin, with a base amount needed for free spinning, and additional power necessary when plugging in devices, illustrating that adding an alternator to a car will require the electric motor to work harder and lower the overall mileage due to power wastage.
  • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, as per the fundamental law of physics, debunking the possibility of over Unity or perpetual motion machines, with the impossibility of multiplying power output through device arrangements due to energy wastage along the system.
