nope. no flywheel generator. the purpose of getting rid of the alternator is to get rid of the LOAD from the alternator.
for the most part 2 deep cycle batteries will run a "geo metro" for a week.
now more complicated cars? ahh no. my electric fans in the minivan are cycling ALL the time. batteries would not last long in that and at that scale the alternator is "minor" regarding fuel economy.
with the geo metro removing the alternator (and water pump thats important) loads should have a pretty dramatic impact on fuel economy.
I am still working on this. I just lack cash. once I have the cash to get the electric water pump things will move quickly.
