After reading some of the other comments I still think it would be a fun
project.
All I want is one or two horsepower driving a car alternator. I would
prefer
a boiler that could take wood as the fuel but any fuel would be OK.

Probably won't ever build such a device but I would like to.

Alternator or generator? If you use an altenator, you'll need a battery for
it to start charging. A generator doesn't require one. If you'll include a
battery, the altenator would be better.

batteries will be around a very long time, even after the sources of
gasoline go away. Every motor vehicle has one, so collecting them
would be easy, charging them is the problem.
