What would be ideal is to have an alternator that disconnects during load,but reconnects while braking. regenerative braking of sorts.
You could increase the rpm the alternator is driven at,so it runs at a high load during braking.
You could simply use a relay hooked to the alternator output to make an electrical connection when the brake is applied.
Maybe add a dash switch to activate the alternator also when coasting down hill.
Just some thoughts.
My experience with motors on dyno's, is that alternators and pulley use very little power when not electrically loaded.
I plan to try this on my 914.
