Even a car with an alternator needs some little bit of battery power

Hence the little Gel Cell.
It turns out that almost all alternators have a little residual
magnetism and if you just spin them fast enough they will start
generating.
If not you get double your money back. * :-)
But does it generate enough current to get the diesel spark needed to
get

Steve, I'm sorry, but I started this thread, so I'm sure someone else
will
take credit for it. 
Looking for "credit" for starting a thread? *Your life is that pathetic?
How sad.
Actually, I was responding to the nutcases who said I never talk about
sailing, but you're an expert when it comes to pathetic, so I'll defer to
you.
You could never be a lawyer. *Your responses are dumb at best.
My thoughts exactly.
