Was at a gun/preppers show this week end. One booth had a wind generator/alternator set up. It looked like a Delco 10si one wire but the guy said the stator was replaced and had a magnet stator in it. Any body know any thing about these??? He did not say where I could find them but said it took 5 or so MPH wind to start it up and would produce so much power if put on a car tractor etc it would cause major porblems

A permanent Magnet rotor in a Delco based unit is not able to be regulated at the alternator. External power conditioner systems using electronics to control output without loosing efficiency. Probably far greater charging capability than a stock unit, but not for replacing a vehicle unit. Jim

These do not use Delco alternators, but plans for wind turbines can be found at otherpower.com.

just google up wind generator and it will show all kinds of sites to look up...never believe any sales man that don't want to tell you somthing they don't want to loose a sale on..
Eagle makes on from a Delco 10SI, modified with a permanent magnet rotor and carbon fibre prop.
A friend had one. With the PM rotor, there is no way to control output. His burned up the stator on a windy day.
I added a link to their site. Look around.

Wasn't the guy at the gun show selling them?
I would imagine that he's either modifying them himself or he's getting them modified specially for his product. They're probably not available off-the-shelf.
If you want something off the shelf look into model airplane brushless motors. They make some pretty huge ones, cheap, these days. The motors can be spun with a windmill and will make electricity same as an alternator. All you need is a 3-way diode rectifier to make the output DC, and a way to regulate the power.

As long as you can buy power off the grid for 10 cents or so I don't think you can justify messing with wind.
