Even if they only put out 5v I think it would still be a viable source of electricity. Put 3 up and you have 15v to play with. DC that is. It just depends how you wire them up. series or parallel.
I tried the exact same thing and even after re-winding the motor I only managed a max of 8v ... sorry to disappoint but you need a higher voltage motor or extreme wind speeds to get to 12 v.

Could you show a more detailed still video of how you attached the blades to the wheel?

Have you gone any further with this ... like using an actual bicycle to, say, charge up your cell phone or laptop?

Nice

You'll need to add a yaw to the back to help steer the blades into the wind for best efficiency. Good job tho'!

what did you make the blades from?

More than likely your amps are very goood but your voltage is low ,try a different DC motor and have fun with project

Add u you a gear box to it ,but u would need a bigger rotor on it .Find u a old treadmill for free then build u one

OK what about a close up, what about a good look around it when it's stationary?
What about some at least estimated specifications - wind velocity, volts, amperes?
