1. A double flywheel alternator apparatus comprising, in combination: an alternator having a rotor surrounded by a stator, a rotor shaft affixed to the rotor, and a first end spaced apart from a second end;a first flywheel mounted externally to the alternator first end rotor shaft;a weight-adjustable second flywheel mounted externally to the alternator second end rotor shaft;an alternator gear mounted to the rotor shaft laterally external to the first flywheel;a hydraulic motor in communication with the alternator gear via a hydraulic gear;a plurality of encased control valves in selective communication with the hydraulic motor via a pair of hydraulic hoses;a fluid reservoir in communication with the encased control valves via a pair of hydraulic hoses;a hydraulic pump in communication with the encased control valves via a pair of hydraulic hoses;an enclosure housing the alternator and flywheels, the gears, the hydraulic motor, the encased control valves, and the hydraulic pump;a first pulley affixed to the hydraulic pump and external to the enclosure;a second pulley affixed to an existing rotating member of an existing automobile's driveline;a pulley connection connecting the first pulley to the second pulley;whereby the encased control valves allow the rotor shaft to continue to turn with the existing automobile driveline halted. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the enclosure further comprises a dimension of about 15 inches square.
