THere is something else I thought of.
Were laptops made to play WOW 14 Hours a day everyday. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

A laptops biggest enemy is heat.

My laptop has been left on constantly for most of the time I've owned it. No problems with the computer...

Piss poor LCD mount design INdeed though.

Mine too.

But, there isn't usually a lot of heat being generated unless it is doing processing of something large. Like a game.

I really need to blow this one away, start with a fresh install of XP Pro before I turn it into a media PC to sit behind the TV. The CPU idles really high... the fan is on constantly...

I didn't know you played WOW Aaron?

I don't.

I think it is a stupid game that eats people's souls... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I need to wipe the Dell. But, am afraid to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I agree with the eating people's soul. It's basically cocaine in the form of a game. But it's not stupid. I liked it whenever I was playing it though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif:

Sorry that was harsh.

It's stupid because of what it does. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I play Diablo II & Age of Empires once in a while if I've got nothing better to do.

Hey maybe someone in here can answer this.

I was going to make a thread, but didn't know where to put it.

When an alt is rated at lets say 200 Amps. How is that rated? Amps isn't a power rating...

Is it rated at 200 Amps at 13.8 Volts? So that would be 2,760 Watts.

What I can't wrap my brain around is if it is an active system or a true current source.

If it was a true current source at 14 volts it would be 2,800 Watts at 12 Volts 2,400 Watts. How does that work????

An alternator only produces the current that is demanded of it.

Also, it obviously doesn't produce full amperage at idle... and also when it is HOT.

Yea I understand that...

But, does it have a voltage rating attached to the amperage rating?

What I am trying to figure out is the stable voltage of a load greater than the current load.

I guess if it is only 200 Amps rated if you are pulling a constant 220 Amps the voltage will continue to 0.

Which means the power would decrease to 0. But, what screws with my brain and my math is if that is the case then the resistance of the load would have to be 0 also. But, I guess it works that the voltage drops until the source no longer has the power to turn on meaning the load goes away.
