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

will
take credit for it.


We want you to get all the credit you're due. Idiot.



Yup... you're a stalker.


Really? I don't know who you are, where you are, or what you are. And I
promise you that, If you leave here, you won't be followed. S F B
