    DIY, Low Cost Generator From Vehicle Alternator (Alternating Generator)

    https://www.finditparts.com/products/8711786/leece-neville-1287170 Great suggestion, and it's affordable! All joking aside, I'll probably keep an eye out for some of this style of alternator to tinker with, but one of the more pedestrian variants. A 200 amp 12 volt unit would probably be a...
