The Knight system wasn't very efficient. esp. after you added to extra weight of the batteries you had to lug around all the time, wasn't setup as a regen system either. The batteries were charged by the cars alternator.

Old Honda brainstorm I had....

On Honda D&B series with intermediate shaft, add a cogged pulley for a belt drive to a motor tucked under the intake manifold. The motor could generate power when used as a brake assist much like the Prius does. When extra power was needed, you'd switch it on manually (boost button!) say if you needed just a little extra power to get up a hill without changing your accelerator position.
