remove the alternator and installing it on the front of the car
sorry for the typo

i have been reading about the alternator removal and i have a few questions...

1. is i remove it and place it on the frost of my car with a fan that will allow it to spin as i travel down the road, is it going to raise my CD through the roof.

2. if i install a solar panel to the roof and make it flush to roof is it going to make that much of a difference. i would run it to the deep cell batteries along with the alternator in the front of the car.

the main thing that im asking is that if i put the alternator on the front of the car and allow the wind as i travel to spin it and give me some charge. is that going to kill me or save me FE
