r3bol fail... no fucking matter what el motor you use you always will get ac voltage.
i added 10 neo magnet rotor to old fridge ac motor and im getting 120v ac and useing bridge recifier and few caps to get dc. also its impossibe to turn that kind of ac motor to dc if you want to do it u must build ac to dc transformer.
@gaypotter I have entertained the idea of using the municipal water supply's pressure to fill a water tank built above my garage. The water would flow through a turbine creating energy, the water would flow down under it's own gravity, and be used where pressure is not an issue - drip irrigation. The power generated, would be free to me. I have also toyed with the idea of heating grey water and using a solar powered fan to bring the water vapor up to condenser. Cleaning, and then using it
@gaypotter You are correct about pumping water uphill, PG&E has been doing it for years. They use cheap energy, from fossil fuel burning plants that can not be turned on and off easily, generated at night during low usage periods. The water stored in upper reservoirs, flows down creating power during high usage hours. They can do this because the power they use at night, they must generated anyway. They use cheap power to make more expensive power. So you are correct about that.

How did you convert that AC motor to DC?

I would guess that those blades are sections cut from 8" diameter PVC plastic pipe. The "generator" looks like a washing machine motor.

how did you make the pvc pipes to shape like that? what is the shape of the blades?

@homskoult you loose energy with any type energy storage, I was simply responding to your question "how would you store energy using gravity?".
gaypotter 4 months ago
@gaypotter It takes energy to do those things. To expend that much energy to create less energy is something only the Govt. would do.

@homskoult lift a weight... you have stored energy.. pump water up a hill, you have stored energy.

How did you make the blades can you give me the angles or a website.
