automatic trasmissions in cars have fluid couplings. Its a frictionless and non impact mechanism. its much more costly though. visit #-Link-Snipped-# for more pictures and animated media on the same
An unmodified automotive alternator probably needs to run at least 1500 to 2500 RPM. When it runs in its normal speed range (about 2000 to 10000 RPM), the voltage regulator that is designed to work with it keeps the output at the proper voltage for charging a 12 volt automotive battery (about 14 or 15 volts). I believe that the voltage regulator is usually in the alternator housing, but it may be mounted externally.
