kontaltern

Kontaltern, also known as contact alternators, are electrical devices used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They are commonly found in vehicles, where they generate the electrical current needed to power the vehicle's electrical systems. Kontalterns consist of a rotor, which is connected to the engine's crankshaft, and a stator, which is stationary. The rotor contains magnets, and the stator contains coils of wire. As the rotor spins, it induces an alternating current in the stator coils, which is then rectified to direct current (DC) for use in the vehicle's electrical system. Kontalterns are known for their reliability and efficiency, making them a popular choice for powering electrical systems in vehicles. They are also used in other applications where a reliable source of electrical power is required.
