Here's the paragraph mentioning the energy input from the alternator.
Regardless I think it's just a well orchestrated hoax.

Josef’s first working inert gas engine was the engine of a 90hp Volvo, having the intake and the exhaust removed. The engine’s head was replaced with his own design. The engine ran for demonstration for about 35 minutes, generated a constant power of 300hp at about 4000 rpm. The electrical power needed for the engine’s input was produced by a standard engine alternator, which was also able to charge the car’s battery at the same time.
