Examine any hot wire to alternators and tell me the gauge wire is 8, 6 or 4.......... Perhaps reviewing how alternators operate may enlighten you. | |

You can’t have more current on one side than the other. If that is what you think is happening, then you are not understanding something. It doesn’t matter which way you imagine the electricity flowing either. It can be AC or DC. The current is always the same. If you had several wires on one terminal, then the 100A can be shared between them, but it would add up to 100A. | |

Until you accept dc current flow as opposite to voltage flow, you'll never explain how alternators output. | |
