Does a medium sized SE exist that could charge 12 V car battery properly?

If not, how many small SE would it take to do so? Looking for things on the market today, things that have been built in the past, DIY's; anything. Working fluid being air (preferably not pressurized).

8 amps would be a good charge rate for a 12V car battery. That's 12*8 = 96 Watts
An unpressurised SE using air making 100W might be fairly chunky unless its of Andy Ross level sophistication. Possibly bigger and heavier than my 40 year old Honda EG550 sidevalve generator, which will make 450W continuous power on around 12oz of gasoline an hour. I picked mine up off the 'bay for £50. Another option would be the Yamaha EF600 600W.
An unpressurised SE using air making 100W will be quieter, but it won't be silent, and it'll use a lot more fuel. How much does some noise matter in your application?
