My alternator is less then a 1hp electrical draw seeing as how it has a 60 amp fuse, I haven't looked for a while at how hard it is to turn an alternator in to a motor but it's more then just rewinding it, you need a hale effect sensor to see where in the rotation it is and an AC speed controller, all in all it seemed like a lot more work then pulling the alternator and replacing it with a dc to dc converter and more costly then bolting a $150 golf cart motor on where the ac compressor would bolt on if my car came with one, DC motor speed controllers are also cheap and common, I forgot that I even have a spare that I bought because it was $100.
