Badass! Do you just use a 12v to 110v a/c inverter?
If you buy a junk Toyota Prius, the high voltage battery actually supplies 100A at 14v to the low voltage battery in the back. You can hook up an inverter to the back and basically have the quietest 1200w generator around. It only kicks on the car to top off the high voltage battery intermittently.
You can use an inverter, sure. If you need 120VAC. Just remember the current limitations of the alternator. You can run a mini fridge but not bigger. Whatever you could run off the automobile is what you can run off the alternator, provided you spin it up. I run a cabin off one. I hooked it up to a waterwheel I welded up and it provides lighting, runs a 12 V tv, charges my usb devices, etc. You can run multiple alternators to increase the amount of current for higher loads. You can also use buck-boost converters to raise or lower the voltage required. All the information for basic electronics can be found online for free.
