What Al said - you can use a generator from a car for a motor.

I dont see any reason why you could not run it at 24 V - it will have 4 times the power. The limiting factor on motors is the current level that melts the armature, and the max speed (that rips the windings and commutator off the shaft).

There are specs for the Victors on the IFI web site. I think they are rated for 12V only, but check for yourself, they might have other ones intended for other applications?
