While on the farm I once rigged up a Smaller 12v alternator to use as a battery charger. It worked fine but was not as big as they have now days. I think it was a 1/2 HP electric motor I had on it but am not sure, it could have been a 3/4 HP. The motor handled it fine but I don't think it put out more than 30 amps. I had the regulator from the same car hooked up to it. I had the quik spring type connectors on the wires that go to the battery. I think in this setup you have to have it hooked to a battery to run it or you may burn out the alternator, not sure about this either. I know on the old style 6v generators they said to never run it without a battery. Anyway, with this system you would have 12v power. You just need a bigger alernator and a motor big enough to handle it,I would think a 3/4 or 1HP would do it or else a 1 1/2 would.
