No, it would not help charge the batteries because of the first law of thermodynamics, the energy has to come from some place and if you are using a small engine then it's going to be running at close to the peek load it can handle, adding load to the alternator is adding load to the engine plus all of the losses that each system has, in other words this is a great way to make a very complex heater in a slow heavy car.
