The idea thats been rattling around my noggin is to belt a Saturn L24 Z-block to an industrial motor and rectify the current. The contraption could ride on a cheap boat trailer.
How should we control the generator's voltage output, and how do we start the engine without a transmission?

You'd need a pair of solenoids, one on a voltage switch, the other on a RPM switch.
The first solenoid allows current to run the starter, the second one allows the generator's current to reach the battery.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
