Okay, I'm sure this sounds a bit ridiculous, and being ne wto the whole MB scene, I was just wondering why someone couldn't use an alternator from an automobile to generate power? A lot of the SBC/SBF alternators are internally regulated, why can't those be used on a MB? I can see the weight being an issue, but the resistance from the pulley spinning is minimal and could be used friction drive from one of the tires, belt drive, or just put a sprocket on the dang thing in place of the pulley and run it in line with the drive chain...
I'm sure it's not a new idea, but I'm open to having people tell me why it won't work before I go strap an alternator and battery to my MB and end up sending 60amps straight to my crotch.
