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.

Actually, the first problem would be collecting and salvaging them
before they all became sulfated and unchangeable.

The second problem would be the knowledge of how to manufacture new
ones.

Prior to Y2K, "misc.survivialism" dealt with such issues.

People like you don't seem to consider this important these days.

Some of us wonder why you hate other humans so much that you are
willing to lie about them.
