Hey Guys,
I hope I am not hijacking this thread by suggesting this, but;
I make high end electric drive systems for bicycles. The motors I use are 94% efficient at 3,000 watts or 90% efficient at 7,000 watts. I make toothed belt drive reduction units that use two motors. These reduction units have a freewheel on the output. So, if this were run to the engine's belt, the freewheel would allow the engine to drive without back driving the electric system, but the electric system could be run any time to add that 14,000 watts (actually 20,000 peak watts for 10 second bursts).
Something like this may be an easy (though not inexpensive) way to add some hybrid power.
