An alternator with a clutch on it will still need energy to keep the clutch engaged. This will most likely be anywhere from 24-36 watts worth. You would need to save more than this for this mod to be effective. Plus you would have a clutch assembly that could possibly go out on you too. Some one else mentioned it is harder(takes more energy) to start it spinning from a stand still than it would be to keep it rotating.
