Windmilling and electrical power

If a prop is feathered and an engine is shut down, will the engine

I assume that a windmilling prop still turns the engine (i.e., no
clutch disconnects it from the engine, at least on a piston
powerplant). If so, can windmilling drive an alternator enough to
provide useful electrical power?
You'll never know until you get into a plane. A real plane. your
question... Some will. Some won't. Again, stop cross posting. At best,
you're a student. At worst, you're not even human.
