You may have to feed a little bit of power into the windings to get the magnetic field started (or there may be enough residual magnetism), but then
it would work. No idea how effective or efficient it would be.
This is the principle used in some convertors (and 3-phase enerators, of course). Voltage and frequency control would be an issue though. Not a cheap
and easy option in the long run!

Fair enough - we'll keep to our own opinions, shall we?
The thread's been answered by assorted people anyway.
