That may be the more "efficient" way to do it-- the clutch system may add much more rotating mass. I guess that's getting all into the deep theoretical here, though. Still, either way it'd be nice to be able to recharge a little. It'd be interesting to have an automatic system monitoring the battery state to override and start charging.
