the belt Idea for the propshaft isnt a new one, the Diva GT did it in the mid 60's, it may relaesa a few horses at the flywheel, but you'll just loose it again in friction losses
I wonder if you could get one to run off your tyre like we used to have on our pushbnike dynamos in the 70's . . . . it'd bea good incentive to drive faster asit'd generate more charge.
the reality is almost definitely that the alternator is the most efficient way of generating power otherwise everyones cars wouldnt have one !
