[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 584207, member: 3775"] True, I'd like to see what energy loss they are talking about, because if you take an alternator off of a vehicle and spin the pulley by hand it will keep going for quite a while with nothing driving it, So I doubt any HP is lost at all, But sure a water pump or Fuel Pump would consume a couple of HP because the water and the fuel is pressurized which causes resistance, Where as an Alternator offers no resistance because it is free running, :Y: The Radiator Fan would chew a little bit of power too.
