A jump-start assembly for use within a vehicle of the type having a pair of dissimilar batteries . Assembly allows the vehicle to be selectively jump-started and electrical charge to be communicated to the battery by the use of a single battery

Jump start assembly and a method for jump starting a vehicle having a pair of dissimilar batteries

A tandem Coil armature in which a pair of spaced-apart field coils [91,92] are wound on bobbins [12,14] mounted within a set of magnetic core pieces [16,18,20,22]. Two L-shaped conductors [27,28] pass through passageways through the core pieces and connect the windings to slip-rings [72,74]. Insulated conductor carriers [31,32,37,38] sized to mate with passageways and recesses in the core pieces support the L-shaped conductors and electrically insulate them from the magnetic core piece material. The core pieces are mounted for rotation with the rotor shaft [10] and include interleaved claws at their periphery which form the rotors magnetic poles.

An intake manifold and alternator system for an internal combustion engine includes a manifold for conveying intake charge to a plurality of cylinders of an engine and an alternator driven by the engine, with the alternator being housed within a cavity formed within the manifold. Passages conduct liquid coolant from the manifold to the alternator for the purpose of dissipating heat arising within the alternator.
