I don't know, the system offered by this University doesn't look cheap and under powered.
I suppose if worse comes to worse, I would have to figure out how to have this system programmed for those moments when my V8 starts to lose vacuum pressure under higher load conditions. This includes going from a stop, sudden acceleration, and even cruising on the highway and hitting a slight incline. I just thought it would make life easier to have the thing operating all the time and making sure that it was charging itself while it was in operation so that it wouldn't need to be manually recharged.
Certainly this is something that will require more time to research.

You can't charge it while simultaneously draining it. It's one or the other. If you're going to add a hybrid system, pick the times you'll be taking power out of the battery to put on the road, and the times you'll be taking power to put back in the battery. This usually makes the most sense when accelerating/decelerating.
