sounds like your motor would make a great generator. its a relatively easy project that yields great results!

well that depends on the rpm's of your motor and which generator motor you choose.

wow. good work. however this is where my knowledge of the subject grows a little hazy. what I would do is just use this setup to charge a 12v battery bank, seeing as i think the alternator should already put out 12v. there are a few ibles on here about making gas powered generators. I would check them out for more help.

Your ible is a well built robust frame holding a mower turning an alternator

You can supply output power to AC devices by two types of chemistry.
Irreversible hydrocarbonic combustion and lead acid storage. Yes ?
