Hey, don't give up. I have my own idea about installing a variable displacement system on my truck, and many here have also said it was not feasible for one reason or another (including a few here who tried their own form of variable displacement without doing their homework first, then throwing up their hands when their experiment failed to work).
Are you sure that you must deal with rotations north of 100K RPM? Perhaps lower would be better. After all, you don't need much more than 2 HP (assuming an alternator rated at 120 A) to drive an alternator at its rated capacity, and you're not going to need rated capacity all of the time.
