I use it to keep my solar power system topped off when we have little sun. It does it's intended job. I have recently changed it over to a vertical access turbine and geared it up with a few old tractor gears i found at a garage sale. However I have taken it down this winter and I'm planing on focusing on my solar panels from now on. Thanks for the input, I'm glad someone out there cares to help others with the knowledge they have. Thanks guys!!

Good question. I have heard that you could, however you need to get one out of an old car. They galled it a generator back then. You would also need to gear it because it needs to spin quite fast to produce the desired voltage. Or at least that is what I know about it. Feel free to check other sources and find out.

It's not a high quality motor. That might be why it is made so big. It is also made to replace dc motors for shop equipment I think. However you look at it... it is what it is. And for my first try at a build, it didn't go too bad I think.

The motor cost $62.00 at Harbor Freight. But I got it on sale for $42.00.

so how well did it work for you? how much electricity are you able to get from that? do you have it running to a battery?

[exposernine]

@sciurusniger ... It worked fairly well in high winds. i'm currently changing the blade design. i might be changing it to a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. We were running it to a set of marine batteries. Not sure how much i am getting out of it because the wind gusting here. but it keeps the batteries charged and we run all of our chargeable equipment off of it. so.....

00:22 what a vold?

Missouri wind and solar has a new dual output permanent magnet wind turbine motor that does 12 to100 volts dc.

ehm dear videomaker the motor isn't underrated! you have to understand that the Wattage written on motors is the meccanical output power .

The amps x voltage is the imput power consumed by the motor.

So you are wrong!

BANG ON !!!! your a shining example of AMERICAN CAN DO, you are contributing FAR FAR MORE than just electrical power....

[yeaalrightiamawake]

@diegofacundouri after seeing YOUR EXTENSIVE contribution to DYI wind power generation and your EXHAUSTIVE EXPERIENCE as a youtube troll ... I SAY that your NEGATIVITY is best viewed as a ground rod...

Nice looking motor but you will need exceedingly high rpm(s) to make any decent energy as a direct drive unit. However, you could use a gear ratio setup as an alternative.

AS OTHER USERS SAID YOU CAN USE AN OLD DYNAMO GENERATOR FROM OLD 60-70's CARS (NOT A LATER ALTERNATOR) THESE DO NOT NEED A FIELD SUPPLY, BUT MOST MADE ONLY 22 AMPS MAXIMUM THEY STILL NEED OVER 1,000 RPM 1500 PREFERABLY, SO LARGER BLADES AND GEARING CAN BE USED, a proper pmg is the way to go, these can make good power from only 150rpm on good models!

It is 1550 RPM to achieve that wattage and you are probably at 100 rpm=about 16 watts if you're lucky. Right idea but need a geared motor or one with different rpm ratings.
