I like the mild series hybrid idea being discussed in this thread. Especially the simplicity of bolting on a motor where the A/C compressor would be. Regarding a sprag setup for the assist motor, I'm wondering if an a/c compressor clutch could be used?

I have a particularly long hill that I have to climb going to work every day. I'd love to be able to add about a 5 h.p. assist while climbing it. I know nothing about electric motor technology, but I wonder if a starter motor could be used somehow? [I'm trying to think of a cheap source of a powerful low voltage DC motor.]
