Alternator as motor during acceleration?

Found this post
where a guy's talking about 8000 W from a normal alternator, when accelerating, with a ctlr and extra batteries. (100vdc)

Old post and the guy seems to have faded away. Site's dead etc.

I know newer cars have one way bearings on the alternator to use any rotational momentum it might have.
That wont work with this.

Then there's the 100 volts thing.
I'm guessing its a small pack if its only for acceleration but lithium isn't cheap or weightless.

Thoughts?
