I have a slight disconnect in you idea.... the alternators are powering the ancilliary stuff like AC, lights, etc correct? whats powering the drive motors and won't that need plugged in to recharge?

secondly I hope you are remembering the dynamic brake principle that the greater draw you require from your Hi.Alts the more braking force they'll apply and so the harder your drive motors will have to push and so the current draw will go up. and thats where the BIG nasty spiral starts.

I love the idea, but could you show us some math? Hi.Alt output @ X speed @ Y loses. System drain when using Z devices
