hey I wonder about the 1 wire alernator problem. part of the problem is if you cut the wire while its "charging" well nasty things can happen to the alternator (out of control field charge etc..)

so I wonder. could you cut the wire with a relay and then connect a BATTERY to the alternator? ie a 15v source to "trick" the alternator into seeing "full charge" and shutting itself off before you cut the wire ?? once you have cut the wire it would be safe at that point.
