I was recently asked this question by a neighbor, as we discussed pros and cons of electric drive and practical regen yields under sail. He asked if he could just turn a brushless motor with a small diesel or gas engine, and use an ordinary drive motor controller in regen mode to charge a battery bank. I told him I don't see why not, but I had no idea whether this could be done efficiently or not, compared to a purpose built DC generator. I know it would work, but how well would it work? Much better than an alternator, I would imagine, but I have doubts that it would perform as well or better than a straight DC generator. Anybody want to weigh in on this, with actual knowledge? Experience?
