It should be able to but I cannot say how efficient it would be. One would likely need to remove the electronics and have direct connections for the field windings and the rotor. Without rewinding the alternator, it would need to be fed with three phase AC power to the stator and DC to the rotor.
Connected as described above, would result in a synchronous motor rather than an induction motor.
If the rotor connections were shorted together the motor could possibly function as an induction motor.

Does a motor car emit ac or dc?
The engine itself emits nothing. The alternator does. The alternator emits AC, but it is converted to DC.
Alternator generates DC or AC?
An alternator produces AC current but it is converted to DC by the rectifier inside the alternator.
How do you couple DC motor to alternator?
Shaft(rotor) of DC motor and Alternator(AC Generator) are alligned axially and radially to each other and connected.
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
Can an ac motor generate electricity?
An ac motor cannot generate electricity but its shaft can be coupled to that of certain devices like an alternator to in order to generate electricity.
When a car is running is the current ac or DC?
AC (alternating current) is produced in the the alternator. It is converted to DC (direct current) in the alternator by a configuration of diodes called a bridge rectifier. The remainder of the electrical system is DC.
How does the alternator recharge the battery?
An alternator is just a small generator that generates AC power and is converted to 12v DC power via a transformer for battery storage and use.
Is car electricity DC power?
Yes. The alternator outputs AC which is converted to DC which all electrical components run on.
How can you find a connection diagram for an external AC motor to spin the alternator for charging a car battery?
The theory to " spin" the alternator is the same as spinning an air compressor. The ac motor, whether a single plase or industrial three phase motor, to turn the belt or chain driven item,alternator or air compressor pump. the schematic for an air compressor would give you this answer for the a.c.app.
What kind of electricity is produced by a car?
the alternator produces a 3 phase AC electrical current that is "converted" into a single phase DC electrical current. This is done courtesy of the diode trio located in the regulator assembly of the alternator. typical output of an alternator is about 14 v DC and about .1 V AC.
Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
Where is thermostat located on a 1994 dodge ram pickup?
Thermostat is located at front of motor between ac compressor and alternator.
