There are two types of electrical generator.

One is a dynamo, which produces d.c.

The other is an alternator, which produces a.c.

What does a car battery do in a car?

Powers the starter motor and all the other electrics in the car when the engine is not running. When the engine is running, the battery is not needed because the alternator of which works very much like a bicycle dynamo runs all of the electrics in the car. It also keeps the battery charged. If fitted to a bicycle a dynamo will generate electricity to the bike lights when you peddle. An alternator does the same thing but with engine power instead of peddle power. the only difference between a dynamo and an alternator is that an alternator alternates the current from AC to DC a dynamo does not.

How do you make an inverter that stores the energy produced from a dynamo?

To store energy produced from a dynamo, you can incorporate a battery into the system. The dynamo generates electricity, which can be used to charge the battery. An inverter can then be connected to the battery to convert the stored DC energy into AC power for use when needed.
