you can get a power inverter that will give you a 240v supply from your 12v supply
but i would think the heater would need more power than this could supply i might be able to answer better if i knew exactly what application you are trying to do.
are you trying to put a heater into a car or what?
by using an alternator from a car as a wind-turbine to power an oil filled 240v heater to heat a room can this be done ?
yes it is possible but it might not be feasible due to cost
what wattage is the heater you can get inverter's up to 1500 watts cheap enough but the price jumps up a lot when you go into the higher amps
if you can leave me more info i might be able to give you the best suggestion
(1)are you on a tight budget
(2)what is the purpose of the windmill is it a project to see if it can be done or do you just need a heater where there is no power
(3)what is the watt rating of the heater
(4) do you have some of the pieces already (turbine,pulleys,alternator,battery)
i believe it is possible but it could cost more than it is worth also wind is not always available when you need it and you would want to be fairly handy at d.i.y. to build the finished item look up homemade windmills on you tube it will give you some ideas some good video
