Ok, it's late and my mind wanders at night sometimes, so bear with me. Back when the alternator location was a big topic here somebody jokingly suggested that they would mount it in the gear basket. I thought it was pretty funny at the time, but I was just checking out a solar power site and it hit me. Why not mount the alternator up there with a small propeller? You could use a deep cycle battery and just hold out for road speeds for recharging. A solar panel across the wind deflector for additional charging in heavy traffic and offroading. The only real problem I see is how stupid it would look. It just occured to me that a turbine in the exhaust flow would allow power to the alternator mounted at the top of the engine as well. I haven't seen anything lately about the Pathfinder mod that Brent was talking about so long ago. Any new development Brent?
