Hi Nigel,

It sounds that you are put on a wrong track by a loose remark, intended to  
present something theoretical.
Look again at the "possible" and "but". A real 24 V alternator would  
produce 48 volts and more at high rpms.
These overkills are needed to give a good charge at low rpms. Thats why  
generators need regulators, and broken regulators can fry systems. My 10  
cents: Don't start using an alternator out of spec.

Regerds,

Jos Okhuijsen
