I didnt want to derail Darryl's "OT- photo interrupter question" topic where these devices are mentioned (not the alternators).
But it does appear to my eyes that a car alternator (some types at least) are very similar in design to magslips/selsyns/synchros et al.
If the diode bridges are removed from a pair of alternators, the three stator terminals of one alternator connected to the stator terminals of the other and AC of a suitable voltage applied to the rotor coils will one alternator follow the positional movements of the other?
