I’m not poking fun but I was wondering if steam could somehow be adapted.Then I realized the water would be free but heating the water and keeping the frame shielded from the frame are things to ponder but definitely doable.Trike or quadracycle would be a great starting platform.

Basically, an AC motor is a type of motor that is operated by an alternating current. It has two basic parts. First is a stationary stator and another is rotor. You can try anyway, but not suggest to do that. Generator is gasoline generator or gas generator?

A generator doesn't have to be anywhere near the power of the motor, as it's working constantly.
It does have to be adequate voltage though, so it can reach a reasonable amount of the battery's capacity.
I'd need one that kicks out 50-55v but it only needs to be able to supply about 10 amps.

Bikes: This list got too long: several ‘bents, an urban utility e-bike, and a dahon D7 that my daughter has absconded with.

The same applies to the OP idea, it is terribly impractical. However, if the purpose of doing it is to do it, it would be a fun project. This subforum is filled with people who are on similar paths, yet may have very different destinations.
