Will work in theory. However as one of the posts below suggests at least one of the alternators would have to be isolated from ground. Or you could use “isolated ground” type alternators and simply connect the outputs in series. (On isolated ground units the frame is not grounded. Rather there are separate “+” and “-“ output terminals. Heavy truck alternators are often this type...) In addition you would need to wire the alternator fields in series, then supply the fields from a single regulator calibrated for the combined output voltage. Otherwise individual regulators on each alternator will likely go unstable (oscillate) and be unable to provide control. Bottom line is it will probably easier to install a single alternator with the output voltage you desire.
