All alternators are capable of 120v AC. Yes the alternator on your present engine, or any car/truck alternator.
Popular Science ran an article with plans on how to do it.
Alternators produce AC and then it is rectified to DC. The project in
Popular Science was a switch with outlets so you could run it either way you want it, AC or DC or back and forth. There used to be kits you could buy at parts stores, but it's very easy to build. If you want you can mount a car alternator on a small engine, like a 5hp briggs. Put the adapter and have a portable generator.
I used my cars alternator for 8 months so I could have AC on a job site. Worked great. I do not know the actual wattage, but I ran all the power
tools I wanted and a heater.
Do a search on Popular Science or Mother Earth News for portable AC power articles.

A belt drive AC generator can be used to generate free energy with a self-powered mechanism. The generator works by using the kinetic energy from various belt driven accessories to generate electricity. The generated electricity can then be used to power
the belt driven accessories, making the system self-sustaining. This technology has been used successfully in a number of applications, including powering remote homes and businesses.
