It sounds like a great idea. So you start with 35% efficiency engine, then a 65% efficient alternator, and then you have a 30% efficient electric fuel cell. Sounds like 6.825% efficiency being added back to the engine... but i forgot to add in the free energy so with that added in its more like 120% efficiency.
