So many great answers. And I am much better informed than I started, on how batteries work and how electrons are used to carry charge.
FYI I did get my battery charging. The issue was in the dynamo loosing its residue magnetic field and even when connected to a new battery via a voltage...
He he.
It’s a Massey Fergusson 1974, Mf 165 with original dynamo. Engine diesel A4 212.
I advised a have purchased new wiring loom. This came with different colour coded wires from original spec. But does look to have all correct wires. I ve drawn the following wiring diagram if you are...
By golly I think I understand. The mechanical energy turning the generator is converted to fast moving electrons ( a strong charge). When that circuit is connected with a light, essentially increased resistance, the rate of flow of the electrons is diminished and the energy is given off in light...
I am no physicist or student and am asking question in order to out try and understand why my old tractor is not charging. This got me into understanding the concepts of how the generator and voltage regulator work to create a current to charge the battery.
My investigations pulled me down in...
