an alternator is essentially a generator that converts the kinetic energy from the combustion engine in your car into electrical energy to recharge your battery. To answer your question about connecting a generator to another generator to create limitless energy there is always a loss of energy during the conversion process usually due to friction. In theory it is possible but there is no pure conversion of one form of energy to another in real world application. There will always be a loss of energy in some form.
