Making a Generator

Wouldn't it be cheaper to be able to take the horse power engine of a generator then bolt it to something that has the electricity converting part on it so you can buy the two things separately? Is this possible to make your own generator this way?

Unless you have the gas motor and electric motor laying around, it would not be cost effective to build one yourself.

If you are looking for a generator on the cheap browse through craigslist.com

I have seen generators on there all the time for cheap.
