In having repeated this a few times, I've left out that detail by accident. I intend a regular car battery bank, because this is what they're made for. Large drain for short period of time, then idle/recharge. It'll exist mostly for acceleration. I mean for the generators to supply at-speed power.

If it isn't a contribution to knowledge then I may not do it. With so much hate for the idea, I may not bother.
