A 125 amp Electrodyne alternator current bid is $23.50 with no reserve.
It is an $1,800 brushless alternator. Probably one of the best ever
made. I am already committed to 12V or I would be watching it like a
hawk ready to bid.

can you modify the windings to make it 12 v? Sometimes you can......?


Just Tap off from 2 - 12 volt batteries easiest.
Then you split your load between both. - plus you still have 24 volts
as well.
But you still don't gain - as in energy input must still equal work
output - So amps * volts = watts so you still need the motor hp's to
turn it over. So if you don't need it, its overkill.
