Single Wire 50 Amp Ultra-Mini Alternator

Hello -

As a compromise to no alternator, this seems pretty neat :

This super-compact 12 volt alternator is suitable for use on just about any formula car or sports racer. It weighs only 6 pounds and is small enough to fit in the most crowded engine bay. Despite its small size, it puts out up to 50 amps! That's enough power for the most demanding data acquisition, driving lights, and fuel injection systems. The single wire design is easy to hook up. 2.5" diameter V-belt pulley included. Can be driven up to 15,000 rpm.

This alternator will require some adapting and fabrication to install. It is not intended as a replacement unit for any stock vehicle.
I think you'd need a bare-bones car, no A/C now power nothing.
