The nice folks at www.otherpower.com have also built a direct drive hand wound permanent magnet alternator with one of the nifty mini-Lister/Petter diesels. If I recall correctly, they had both a 12V nominal output for charging a battery and a nominal 120AC output for general whatnot use. They were pretty happy with the result and I have to admit, it was a cute little thing.
One of the often mentioned drawbacks to the PMA (Permanent Magnet Alternator) solution is the inability to adjust output by varying the field. The magnetic field is of course not adjustable.
