<p>An alternator unit in an engine (45) in a vehicle (157) comprises two alternator assemblies (2, 4) each alternator assembly (2, 4) including a rotor winding (18, 20) and a plurality of stator windings (37, 38, 39, 40, 41). The alternator assemblies (2, 4) are mounted adjacently with their rotor windings (18, 20) arranged to rotate about a common axis. Each rotor winding (18, 20) is wound in an opposite sense to the other to intensify the electromagnetic field in the region of the stator windings (37, 38, 39, 40, 41) and thus increase current output. The output from one stator winding (39, 41) in each alternator assembly (2, 4) is connected to the input for the rotor windings (18, 20) so that the alternator can be self-exciting. The output from those same stator windings (39, 41) is also connected to a battery (53) of the vehicle to re-charge the battery (53). The other stator windings (37, 38, 40) of each alternator assembly (2, 4) are connected to an electrolysis unit (46) for producing hydrogen and oxygen to be supplied to the engine intake.</p> |
