During normal vehicle operation, the suspension oscillations will cause the generator to jounce up and down in a vertical motion with the vehicles unsprung mass due to the generator being fixed to the vehicles chassis. This causes the rotor to simultaneously pulsate in and out of the coil windings, thus cutting through the lines of magnetic flux and inducing a current and AC voltage in the copper wire (stator).
From the stator, current conventionally flows to the bridge rectifier, where the AC voltage is converted to workable DC voltage. The output voltage then flows to the capacitor and begins to charge it. Once the peak charge threshold is met then the current is redirected to charge the battery.
