Default USING AN AC motor as an alternator.

My friend has a 40HP 3 phase motor which he wants to try to use as an
alternator. He seems to think that if he powers this monster from a
diesel engine he can generate enough useable AC power to run his small
factory and heat it as well. Even if you could get some AC out of the
motor I don't think this is possible. Any thoughts? Lenny
