I think that the air tool could work but the alternator would need to be rewound. Since you will be running it at a lower rpm than what the car's ICE would be spinning it and at a smaller range of RPMs by optimizing it based on that should help, like what homemade windmills do.

To see how someone has done this look here How To Rewind an Alternator
