Belts slip.


Belts slip?? why would the belts slip? you lost me, which isnt hard.


If you want to synchronize generators (or alternators) you need a
chain, gears, or a toothed belt. You can't use smooth belts because
they slip. That's why your car has a timing chain to drive the
camshaft, not a timing belt (unless you own a Pinto which had a
toothed timing belt -- one of Ford's "better ideas").
