the shaft but John did say they where stackable on the water
pump unit.
Would that require two belts
I think there is something being missed here. On the permanent magnet
motorcycle alternators they prevent over voltage by ungrounding the Y winding on
the alternator preventing power from being produced. You can also size the coils
such that they begin to internally quench themselves at a certain RPM but that
is dangerous since they can fail. The point here is getting an alternator that
DOESN'T HAVE A BELT at all. (e-shaft pulley) That is super even if the
alternator is otherwise totally conventional. IMHO
