I tried copper tubing and it's nit efficient AT ALL. That's why I thought about using this. How many watts would this need to produce in order to completely remove the alternator though?
to compensate for the total available power the alternator could produce,your "net" power (after all the pump/generator system losses) would have to match your alternator's full current output (amps) which would be listed in the owner's manual.You could typically do with less,until the time,if ever,that you were running all your accessories.
