I'm wondering about the durability part.. especially when it comes to fault tolerance. i think the generators easilly have an upper hand in fault tolerance.

Ever hook an alternator up backwards.. It takes? what? about 1-2 seconds before all the smoke shoots out of the diode trio? Gennies are pretty tolerant in that respect. mostly if the brushes and bushings are in decent shape.. they make power. i agree they are no matchinthe power generation capabilities at low rpm as an alternator though... A tradeoff i guess. component fault tolerance in exchange for increased current output.
