Generator heads are relatively inexpensive considering.
Lovejoy coupling to connect to an engine, throw in a transfer switch and there you go.

It is a basic concept, but doesn't seem that easy to me.
Shaft
Shaft connections
Adapter plates
Proper engine speed
Balancing
Wiring
I'd be most concerned about vibrations and frequency output

I have been thinking about building a waterwheel at the waterfall behind my house,and try to set up 2 or 3, 200 amp alternators,hooked to batteries and an inverter,just to see what it could produce.
Somebody said I might have to have the alternators rewound to produce at lower speeds. I don't know,and any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Your stream will need to go 88 mph to produce the 1.21 gigawatts needed Marty.
