Will you need a clutch between blower motor and alternator? what sort of
control system to monitor the starting and running of the motor?



You don't need a clutch. if the motor can't handle startup with the
alternator, put a switch or time delay relay between the alternator &
the load. Since the current output of the alternator doesn't rise at
lower RPMs, the motor should have no problem coming up to operating
speed without a clutch.
