Spin the motor shaft & see if you get power out of it. Also see if it
runs round easily or has a friction problem. It sounds like youre
looking for a cheap solution, car alternators fit that, though they do
lose power in the energised field winding.

Don't forget a brake mechanism too, on occasion a turbine will need to
be stopped and kept stopped.

I put a volt meter accross the live and neutral pins of the pump's mains
plug. Spinning the motor by hand, I got nothing but a 0.00 volts reading.
Meter was set to DC volts.
