Car-Driven Power Generator: Solutions for Generating 10kW+ (3-Phase) Using Passenger Vehicles

Does anyone know any solutions that allow generating more than 10 kW (3-phase) powered by a passenger car?
The 12 V converter is out of the question, because the alternator is too weak. The generator would have to be driven by the engine without an alternator.
I mean solutions similar to a power generator driven by an agricultural tractor with PTO.
I am looking for a solution for a passenger car.
Maybe some overrun rollers and wheel drive? Something like on dynamometers.

It would be less complicated to buy a used car engine (cost approx. PLN 500-1000) and to connect the clutch directly to a 10 kW generator.

And has the author thought about how to keep the car's engine speed constant?

The second problem is the cooling of its components - the fan on the radiator may not be enough. For this you need the air momentum generated while driving.

An extreme case is a car with an automatic transmission that requires cooling.

Something that can be considered exotic, in the version above 10 kW is just a miscarriage idea.

Rightly forgotten and undeveloped.

An interesting topic, but economically unprofitable.

Losses on the gearbox, huge losses on the friction gear (rollers). Car tires wear.
