I'm putting a 56 chevy truck together. Thinking of going green with an electric motor, but I want to be able to go more then 10 or 20 miles per charge(truck is heavier then your average electric car). The question is can you hook up alternators in series to get more voltage? i.e. 12V @ 100amps + 12V @ 100amps = 24V @ 100amps. Like batteries in series. I would have to hook up 12, yes 12 alternators together(that's one hell of a bracket). Just seems to me that they would burn up, but hey what do I know. The engine to run the alts would be natural gas(still thinking green). Plus natural gas here is 75 cents to $1.39 A gallon
