treadmill windmill generator selection

A short video on the different types of treadmill motors and there generating capabilities. I sell a lot of these on E-bay and it amazes me how the smaller ones always get a higher price than the larger ones. I think lots of people are not sure what they are buying and just go by the numbers printed on the motors. I can tell you first hand that some of the numbers are pipe dreams. It is not the fault of the sellers as we just print what is on the label. I just want to give you some observations to help you decide which is right for your generating project.
