Is the ruler in inches? If so, thens thats a dollar well spent.

It could be a single phase motor. How many wires are coming out, could you take a photo of the other side of the stator?

It will still work as a alternator, but you will need to experiment. First up put it together so you can spin it, see how much cogging it has, and how many volts it makes ( AC scale on your meter ) at about 60RPM, or one revolution per second, then you can work out if you need to re-wire it.

It looks like it might make a fun project.

the second picture shows 4 of the new coil 50 turns for testing ........results will no voltage none !single phase.
now wath!
