just curious... has anybody ever thought about the load placed on the motor by the alternator...

with  the help of a voltage regulator manufacturer... a custom internal voltage regulator could be programmed...

so that while the rpms are increasing... the alternator reduces output...

when at high rpms.. there is a reduced output..

when slowing down...   the alternator goes to increased output... this would help slow the motor down and the car down in corners and reduce the load of the alternator when power is applied...

this was just a brain ........     but it would work....

have fun...


oh... and for those who don't know.. alternators can already do some of this...  have been able to do it on gm units since 1986...  so its not new...     gm Tuned port motors had alternators that would shut off for a timed period  when the RPMs dropped below 500 rpms...    and waited for 2 , 6 or 10 seconds before they started charging again...  this was set up individually ... but the ECM was also programmed to open the idle control just prior to the built in off time..  so the engine would not stall...  putting in the wrong alternator or voltage regulator almost always caused a stalling problem.. as the alternator started charing before the ECM backed out the idle control...
