This might be difficult, realize that this is not just
a stable magnetic field in space, but a rotating one.
If there was a way to rotate the compass with the
rotation of the field rotor, so that both objects had
no movement with respect to each other, the effect
might be seen, but then of course we might have a
problem with the rotation itself affecting the compass
in some way. The compass might have a practical use
to determine if any remanent magnetism is contained in
the field rotor before any rotation takes place. I
think the metal used for the pole face rotor is not
supposed to be remain magnetised after the magnetic
influence is removed. Again a compass needle might
show this fact, dont know, never tried it.

I sent a attachment jpeg to your email addrees that
shows what a field rotor and removed stator ring looks
like. I dont think vortex list supports attachments,
so I sent it to your email address.
Mentally picture an ashtray that has slots in it.
The protrusions between the slots are the pole faces.
There will be two of these ashtrays facing each other.
Each pole face side has all identical poles. Where
one side has an empty slot space, the protrusion from
the other side fills this empty space. The empty space
between this zig zag pattern of opposite poles is
called magnetic flux leakage, where the magnetic field
must go through empty space in going from a north pole
on one side to a south pole on the other side. This
flux leakage through space will form a curved bulging
in three dimensional space if no other low reluctance
magnetic pathway is present. In the function of the
alternator, the stator output ring, which surrounds
the rotating DC field rotor will provide this
additional low reluctance magnetic pathway. The stator
ring then contains a changing magnetic flux brought
about by the rotation of the DC field rotor.
