Not Sure Whats Available in Australia or other countries, But in Canada and probably the USA, All newer cars have Electric Fan Motors to Cool the Radiator.

And HERE in Canada, these are all Permanent Magnet Motors.
They make a NICE MAGNETO, with No alternations needed.

Drive them at a Reasonable Speed from a Windmill or Water Wheel and They Produce a good amount of Power.
The Ones I have produce a DC OUTPUT of about 10 volts or so.
And you could run Multiples in Seriers or Parallel for higher Voltage or Current.

Besides you can pick them up at Auto Wreckers QUITE CHEAP.
