I have an old converter kit that was for use on a vehicle to obtain 120 volts from the alternator to run a drill etc. As stated in another post brush type motors (typical of power tools) will run on AC or DC.
The converter box had two 120 volt outlets, a volt meter and a two position switch labeled; "Tool" and "Auto". In the "Auto" position the alternator regulator sense wire was disconnected from the battery, causing the alternator to go to full output. The procedure was to set the switch to "tool" and adjust the engine RPM to obtain 120 volts or close to it for the load you were trying to run.

I would part with my kit for a the right amount of cash - currently it is completely fried inside so I know it worked last time it was used.
