Regenerative braking?

I was thinking... In order to lessen the load on the alternator, or even make it easier to eliminate the alternator altogether...

Could you retrofit a regenerative braking system onto a non-hybrid car? Like find a junked insight or prius and pull the brake systems off them.

If you could, then braking would be far less of a worry for the hypermiler, and the alternator wouldn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the battery charged.

Or is it something far too complicated to fuss with?
