homemade generator

I have been planning a windmill project for a while. This is a back-up charger for when there is little wind. Its a 3.8hp Murry lawnmower spinning a Delco-Remy off my old Ford.

cool, so you used an alternator powered by a lawn mower engine corect? and you used the car batery but your right about the windmill, all you really need is a big airplane prop and hook a pully to the back of the rod fron it and hook that belt to the alternator and you got your batery running off of the wind, but also cars could benifit fron this too, just put a windmill under the hood in front of the engine to keep the batery charged while going at high speeds

Yeah your car already has an alternator spinning on the motor. And a car motor has way more horsepower than that little lawnmower. It can move enough amps to cook battery cables.

How high does that volume knob go on that 27" TV ? Must be hell trying to watch the late show while trying to fall asleep.

Nice job. Suggestion...invest in a really nice muffler for the engine. Have fun and be safe

Try to use 200 proof alcohol in the generator, and distill the alcohol youself. Good luck with going off grid with the windmill. I look forward to seeing you suceed.

Hey Bro,

All you need is an Ametek motor off ebay ( for the generator) and blades made of 6'' PVC & a 30 amp diode, tower & with a little luck you would have what you need!! Let me know what you think? Rick.
