A motor driving a flywheel driving an alternator/generator is called a motor 
generator set. Some implementations are called a diesel electric locomotive. We 
used to use them as power conditioners for Cray class supercomputers. Also used 
by many home machinists to generate 3 phase from single phase power. 

Car alternators are generally 3 phase internally. Don't know if you could get 
28vac out tho.
