Someone's dad will have a spare alternator in the shed. Guaranteed.

On second thoughts, the diodes that change the Ac to Dc are inside the
alternator,
so a working alternator wouldn't give you AC.

The diodes get fried if you try to jump-start a car with a flat battery, so that
someone's dad will probably have a car alternator with fried diodes in his shed
that you can modify to get the AC out.

Umm .. why should jump starting a car with a flat battery fry the
alternator diodes?...

The PC fan sounds like a good plan. You could stick two together and power one
to spin the other. Or it to the back of a PC and run it from the fan in that.
