After market products
There are a lot of after market products out there already such as dc motor powered waterpumps that claims to increase your horse power 18 -20%.
I am still in the design stage.
Without giving away the farm all I can say is that there is a way to do this. The problem is to find an inexpensive way to bring it to market that is cost effective.
The price of gas gives me the incentive to experiment and see what can be done.
I understand your question. Power is power in one form or another you can't take away from one (combustion engine). to feed the other (ALT and DC supply) and recieve an increase in power, but have you not heard of gear ratios and PWM controllers? You can lift a lot more weight if you have a bigger lever with the same horsepower.
Thanks for the link Jim!
