(((In simplistic description, because a generator first makes alernating current, and due to brush placement, selects only portions of the current to produce an output of direct current.
On the other hand, an alternator uses just about all the power made, and with the use of rectifiers,converts it from alternating current into direct-current.
Thus the main reason why an alternator that is smaller and lighter then a generator, can make 30-50 amps at engine ilde speeds and 60-120 amps at max output. Whereas a typical generator can barely make 5 amps at idle and 15-30 amps at amps at max output.)))
this statement is so far out in space it shows your total lack of understanding how a split ring commutator works in a automotive generator. You repaired generators with this understanding of how they worked???? What a joke.
search split ring commutator and learn what we all know.
