Re: Idea for recovering Energy from Idling engine
The way I read it, eee understands how the computer controls the alternator and wants to try changing that.
It shouldn't be too hard to monkey around with, but I don't think that trying to kick it on during idle will help anything. When idling, it's not using any more fuel than is necessary to idle; adding drag will just increase fuel consumption. At best it is a zero sum game.
Barking up a similar tree, here's an idea that might work: Get a higher-output alternator and run it full-strength during DFCO.
