Default Connecting an Alternator to horse drawn buggy

According to beecrofter :

Perhaps LED lights and a smallish solar panel. Should allow them
to use smaller/cheaper batteries too.


Sounds like a good community to have a way station with a few solar
panels and a few group owned batteries on charge, swap out your
discharged battery for a charged one along the way. Wouldn't need to
be any bigger than an outhouse.


Amish communitees are very well spread out. They're not towns,
they're farming regions with a mixture of Amish and non-Amish
farmers. In many cases the non-Amish outnumber the Amish
by a substantial margin.

In order to be useful, "way stations" would have to be impractically
numerous ;-)
