ALTERNATORS & BATTERIES | How They Work

Your car battery is really heavy, because it's full of chemistry! Inside, it’s made of Lead and Acid-- That’s why it’s called a LEAD-ACID BATTERY. This episode of Science Garage talks about how batteries work, how alternators work, and how they work together to power your car!

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

I like how this is the only learning subject I have fun with

[nohabloemojislosiento]

You should do one of these on engine configurations. Such as why we don't use V4 engines anymore, why straight engines have better balance, benefits of flat engines. I think people would find it interesting like I do.

[ItsMikeArre]

They work with electricity right ?

On A serious note can you do a video on straight cut gears
Im interested in learning how they actually work and Why they whine so high

[CarsSimplified]

This feels inspired by Bill Nye The Science Guy, which is a compliment in my book.

AWESOME!




Can you explain how fuel-injection is superior to injection from a carburetor DOWN TOTHE ATOM?

Sneaky and pulsating was my name in middle school

It’s so weird how he talks fast enough that I just about have no idea what’s going on but explains it so well that I subconsciously understand and actually end up knowing what’s going on overall without even having to rewind or relisten to anything.

I don't know why this series' lectures are way more interesting to listen to than my math and science teacher hahaha

Only two weeks ago my grandpa and me participated in a classic car race. Midway through the trip on the second day our alternator died. But we still made it through the day with the battery!

[itsrifahanif]

over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over AGAIN!!!!

[TidesChannel]

i wish every teacher can be as clear and simple as this guy

[MattNeufy]

Him: SIX CELLS!
His fingers: 6 of em
Me: tf.

[revolweu]

Yess I watch everything from you guys, Gas Bless You !

[edenweaverias]

He has the vascularity and energy of a recovering “Christian” heroin user who uses way too much energy to cover his deep pain and withdrawals, but I love it

[shinigamix]

Love you Bart. You're better than any professor in Harvard.

[RKN]

I would love to know what they give this guy before filming this

[jaynichol]

Literally how much better school would have been if you were my teacher or I could of learnt so much more and been interested in learning from videos like these! Like I’ve never really thought about learning about car batteries and alternators and now I know and will remember loads about it from you just being a genuinely great teacher from the heart of all things about cars and more! I just guess I’m here to say thanks aha (the cool editing and directing also helps keep me interested but it’s not too much to distract me from the subject of the video) great work donut media

Interesting to see an episode on this. I always knew these things were dangerous, but it's cool to see a more in-depth look at this.

[LucasMrWatkins]

That was comical and informative in such a way that I learned it all the first time and wanted to go back a second time. Good job. You guys did great on this video and well earned my subscription.
