“however in the car one half of the “AC waveform” is discarded to create DC current ,, therefore the most efficient a car alternator can be is 50% efficient if it was “perfect””
Your ignorance of science is astounding. please stop posting BS like this, your making my brain hurt.
Dear crotchety old rocket scientist,
An automotive alternator produces AC voltage (DUH! thats why they’re called ALTERNATORS!) and then at the voltage regulator a diode blocks half the AC leaving behind the DC our cars electronics operate on ... Maybe you’re stuck in 1964 and believe cars still have DC generators like my Corvair did... trust me they don’t.
Go back to designing your solid state coolers (note I’m not stuck in 1964 I didn’t call them Ice Chests) for truckers... looking back at your posts all I see are snide comments and put downs over minor wording issues.
