DIY mild hybrid idea
Has anyone out there looked into modifying a car's charging system so that the alternator could be used to help push the car along and recoup a little energy through regenerative braking.
Do alternators make decent motors? Could an alternator's voltage be upped for greater power without huge conductors?
Could an alternator be powerful enough to serve as the starter so you could save a few pounds deleting the starter?
