My understanding is that this would be a direct drive unit, not a belt driven unit, even though what is seen in the catalogue is primarily belt driven units. Their web page has changed significantly in the past month, and their original web page discussed combination alt and wp units combined into one. Direct drive means that the drive shaft of the alternator/wp is directly affixed to the front pully hub on the e-shaft, so a "belt failure" would not result in an electrical and cooling failure as well (provided any belt fragments were contained).
I have a call in to them as of right now (1320 CDT) to discuss specifics and make an order. I will share with the group as this unfolds.
Dave, I was wondering how this turned out. --
This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
