This is either a Honda or Toyota hybrid motor/alternator. I took these

Note the rectangular wire. Doug might find one of these in a Japanese
junk yard some place. Should be plenty of them in US junk yards in
a few years when the expensive batteries die.

Paul,

If this is brushless it may be a switched reluctance device. Can you
give us a rough estimate of its diameter? Maybe Doug could get a
cost estimate.

Fred O.

My guess is 9 to 11 inches.
