I didn't think alternators had a linear output (unlike a belt-driven water 
pump, where the volume pumped is directly proportional to engine speed).   
Don't alternators generate their output almost regardless of engine rpm, from 
just above idle to redline, with power output 'trimmed' by the voltage 
regulator based on electrical demand?
