Alternator Quotes

Yeah, that was not too bad for a car that was just a little off, ... We had a setback in the practice session the other day and that got us off a little bit. But the guys rebounded really well. We lost an alternator belt early and that made us have to turn all the electrical switches off -- all the brake fans and the rear end fans and the fans that blow cool air on the tires to keep the tires cool. It hurt us because it lets it build air pressure a little quicker. - Tony Stewart

That wasn't too bad for a car that was just a little off... We had a setback in practice the other day and that got us off a little, but the guys rebounded really well. We had an alternator belt come off early and that meant we had to switch off all the brake fans, the ones that blow cool air on the bead of the tire to keep the tires cool. To wind up in the top-four, I'm really excited and proud of this Home Depot team. - Tony Stewart

I can't believe that we always end up somehow toward the front at the end of a race ... this one in the closing laps after a long night of adversity... We changed batteries, the alternator had some troubles, flat tire, all kinds of crazy things. - Jimmie Johnson

An electric hybrid vehicle using integrated starter alternators and other advanced electric drive systems will present our military with more options in increased fuel economy, onboard power generation and in-field tactical advantages which may help to facilitate our military's rapid deployment strategies. Building on the success of our Phase I SBIR grant, we have supported Senators Bennett, Hatch and other key legislators in introducing a program for Hybrid Electric Military Vehicles. Congress acknowledged the need and the potential for incorporating new hybrid vehicle technologies in their truck fleet to help the military in terms of economy of operation, rapid deployment, stealth tactics on the ground and promoting the safety of our troops. - Brent M. Cook
