When (and if) it happens, it will be news all day, every day, for a long time.
I'm telling you, it will be Year 1 of the HE - Hydrogen Era.
When modified, auto alternators can provide variable direct current at 0 to 120 volts for battery charging, hot charging, light arc welding, or for running AC-DC appliances and lights. Another simple modification provides AC power to run some transformer-operated appliances. If you know the secrets of its operation and the modifications possible, the small low-cost alternator can become a versatile power plant.

I'd suggest you read the following regarding the above and what is being discussed in this thread:

It's quite enlightening and will give you a new insight.
Here's something about the disappearing electrons that still baffle atomic physicists:

Fine, I got you to say that yourself. Now please revisit your own statement that 120V is enought to run a car.
Let's do a simple calculation:
One horsepower is approx 740 watts (I may be off here, but let's assume it's roughly about a kilowatt, 1000 watt.).
120V from the laternator times 20 amps is equal to 2400 Watts, which is 3 horsepower. This is about 2 times less than your lawn mower. Again, the alternator gives you 2400 watts of energy, be it in mechanical form, in the form of hydrogen and oxygen mix or otherwise
