Don't try it unless you have two TOTALLY isolated electrical systems.
One system (probably the one with the alternator) would always be
putting out more voltage than the other, confusing the other voltage
regulator.

I'm shocked at your suggestion! How could you generate such an alternative!

I want to throw an idea out and see if anyone has a suggestion:
to get optimum efficency, offroader and racer will run two alternators.
My idea is to run both an alternator and a generator.
reasons for this set-up are on an alternator system you can run
a car with little or no charge in the battery as long as you get a
jump but it will not charge thw battery. with a generator you cannot
run the car without the battery or with very little charge. but the
generator will charge a battery if there is sufficent energy to keep
the motor running does anyone have any ideas to make this setup
work or should i start messing around with wires, any and all input
will be greatly appreciated.
