No.

An alternator draws energy from the engine spinning but the draw uses more energy than the alternator puts out. It is a conversation system from mechanical to electric power.

The device being described in the image is an alternator: a device that captures energy from the movement of the machine.

I think everyone on this thread understands that alternators do not overcome entropy and that there is no infinite energy, but that’s besides the point.
