Before I say this I'll say I don't know exactly how a alternator works exactly, so forgive me if what I say sounds silly.
I was just thinking about superchargers and how they need to be run either from a belt to the engine or with electric motors, so I thought, if you hooked up a separate alternator to the engine and then somehow connected the energy created from this to run the SC, would this allow it to run better/harder due to the alternator using less KW from the engine than if the SC was directly connected to it?
Or would you need the alternator to power something which would run a belt to the SC which would probably mean there is no point unless the power gained from the alternator to run the SC would equal more for the loss of the KW used from the engine than if it were just the SC straight from the engine. :hmm:
Sorry if it makes no sense, I sometimes find it hard to get what makes perfect sense in my mind into words that others can understand. :bash:
