I've spun an alternator using my impact wrench, and when I applied the field current, it was pretty astounding how much resistance it added. And this was with no load on the output either; just field current.
Gives you respect for how much load an alternator can add on an engine, and gives incentive to turn off any unnecessary electrical loads-
One of these days, I'll have to try making an exercise bike using an alternator as a variable load. Maybe get all the people wasting all that work in the gyms to do something useful and solve the energy crisis- :-D
