Very interesting. And yeah, you have to wonder what power output is like.

The efficiency of current alternators could be improved further, though, rather than completely redesigning them like they're doing in that article. Especially in cooling the alt-a great deal of power loss is generated by heat on the alt.

Whoa, that sounds like really cool tech. I hope when it's finished it's readily available and affordable, not to mention be able to put it in existing cars.
