I am confused what the component is that a series hybrid power train uses to convert the ice energy into the electricity to charge the batteries, I’m assuming you need more than just the stock alternator that comes on a motor. Do people just use the ice shaft to turn an electric motor or is there some larger alternator that some people use? Every diagram I have ever seen online just calls it a “generator”, what do people usually use?
i wonder why they didnt just call it a prime mover?
diesel electric subs do this too
i think modern nuclear subs also do this, where the steam turbines only charge the battery
