Interesting. So if im understanding this correctly, he used an electric motor to drive his serpentine belt. Makes some sense I guess, but what happense when you run out of juice? I think it would be more economical to eliminate that belt all together, and just charge the battery before every use. Maybe add in a mechanical clutch system to enguage the alternator on long trips. Solar, regen breaking, wind regen when breaking to recharge the larger battery.
