Alternators and motors (over air power transfer)

Hi, this is a request I've had for a while, and Id thought I'd share it with y'all.
So a few months ago I made an Airbrakes powered engine that uses no fuel, but very recently I just perfected the art of making these engines, with new little doodads that milknthe engine of all it's power, and they are absolutely amazing!
Here are some pictures of a tractor I made using the highest torque engine I've ever made, and the only engine not under development because I've done everything I can to make every last pound of torque with the design

Shown:tractor making it's way up a steep grades, throttle is reduced to keep rpm low for more torque, since timing system doesn't like high RPM
Now here is why I would like to have this mod become a reality.
This engine is pretty much impossible to bring to the air, nevermind power a tractor, the only reason I got a tractor to work was months of optimization for the drivetrain, it was a pain trying to get the right gear ratio and direct drive working.
It would be nice to just hook up a rotator that can directly transfer power to another rotator regardless of it's position, much like the system in a deisel electric locomotive, where a massive engine turns a generator that sends the electricity to the wheels via a traction motor to the wheels.
This is what I want to do in the game, get one of these engines and have it turn a generator and transmit power over air to a rotator or even a wheel.
