[QUOTE="Cameron_B, post: 4820644, member: 593913"] Excuse me for this, but it has to be said. Some of the shit that comes out of your guys mouth is well........pure SHIT. Taking 2 concepts, placing them together and inferring the rest is not a way to do things. a 2 calculated with a 2 is not always 4, what about 2/2. Ie:Inferring that electrons dont flow back to the battery just because it's grounded to the chassis. Let me ask you this, if grounding back to the battery in some way wasnt necessary, only grounding to the frame was. Why would batteries even have a negative post?? Just ground to the chassis. Also, whoever said the alternator just produces voltage is smoking crack. Lets examine why: The alternator is essentially a core with coils wrapping around it. When the input of the alternator is driven it spins the core resulting in a magnetic field which in sure creates AC voltage. This AC voltage is transferred to the rear of the alternator which houses a bridge rectifier. (A bridge rectifier converts AC to DC.) The Bridge Rectifier then in turn provides electricity to the car. Technically you do not even need a battery, exept for the initial start of the engine in which mechanical power is tranferred to the alternator which in turn provides flow. I guarantee if you start your car and remove the battery it will still run, this is of course assuming you take less power out of the alternator than it is rated, thus not providing the voltage for the ignition. That is all...... [/QUOTE]
