How exactly are you going to get the additional alternator to rotate?

his gonna atach another belt but this one will go all the way to the steering wheel so everyone he turns it'll turn the alternator.

hes probably going to add another pulling between the 2 alts.. like a tentioner

 

[Reborn 10+ year member]

Couldn't he just add another pulley on top of an existing one, like a double-stack pulley?

if you see where the belt is going under the idler pulley im going to bring the belt under the idler around and back to the second alt then accross the top to the ac pump, the belt is 14.5 inches longer now tho

Idler pulleys I believe he will use.. Or else it will have a ton of belt slip.
