I'm going to jump on the black market for generators. Should still be able to build one with a small engine, appropriate electric motor, and some other shit.
Its possible, the tricky part is generating the proper hertz, a typical 2 pole generator runs at 3600 rpms to generate 120/240v at 60 hertz. The controller is constantly adjusting fuel/air mixture to adjust to the load and to maintain 3600 rpms. The voltage regulator is reacting to the load and adjusting field excitation to maintain proper voltage.

Generator tech here. its easy to do, but hard to do right.
