Your car battery is really heavy, because it's full of chemistry Inside, its made of Lead and Acid-- Thats why its called a LEAD-ACID BATTERY. This episode of Science Garage talks about how batteries work, how alternators work, and how they work together to power your car

well the electrons actually come out of the positive terminal. this is because back when we first started experimenting with electricity they saw something with excesses charge and called that positive but that was really all of extra electrons which we labeled as negative through chemistry. This is why if you ever look at circuit diagram you start from the positive side of the source. It is confusing but it is something you should know. So to recap, the electrons are come out the positive terminal because positive refers to excesses movable charge.

I want to build a rv van. My issue is i want to have a portable AC, a TV, ps4 and a mini fridge all running at the same time. So if i install a inverter which is powerful enough. Will my battery drain faster then it charges? . If so then what's the solution to run all these equipments at the same time without any issues? My vehicle of choice is a toyota hiace 2010. Please help

I have been watching you since you started and I really really love this donut media thing I do but this this version was one of the most helpful for my wife my goddess to help explain to her how it does it because the one thing I like the most about science garage is that it's better than layman's terms it's real man's terms

the voltage regulator varies the current to the rotor to control the current and voltage coming out of the stator. There are no permanent magnets in a alternator only in true generators. Alternators need to be excited (see first sentence) to produce power. whereas an alternator requires a small bit of power to produce power.

Just talk about electromagnetic induction and the 3 phase variances generated by the wound coils. You spent so much time talking about the chemical reactions you skipped over a really fun detail about how 3 phase power is generated using induction, and even more so how the diode terminates that power into DC so directly.

I bought a car that didn't have a working alternator; so I ran a pair of jumper cables from the car's battery onto a secondary battery sitting on the passenger seat to keep it running long enough to load it onto a trailer. Makes me realize how important alternators can be for running an engine.

Did you know current actually flows from negative to positive its called electron theory, general theory is what everyone knows aka current flows from positive to negative, but because we have all learnt general theory, they just stick to that lol dont believe me? Use the ol google machine

Ok, so I have a question: When jumping your car why do you only have to put a cable on the postive side of the dead battery? (Just grounding it on a piece of metal) so why don't we have to charge the negitive nuetrons as well? (My understanding of electricity is vauge. Thanks for the help)

they probably use a full bridge rectifier which is 4 diodes that convert ac to dc in a much smoother manner. in electrics they also come pared with capacitors to further smooth out the current in circuit for those sensitive electronics in your phone etc.

I love how Bart is not only a great science educator and car enthusiast, but a self-policing, multi-dimensional army of clones from the future It really adds that special something to learning physics and chemistry: )
