I use a 6 pole 1075 rpm 3/4 hp on my exersize bike and I fly one on my store roof.

It makes 48 volt charging quite posable. On the bike I can light a 100 watt 120 bulb fairly easy and I've pedled the bulb to 150 volts.

I've left the 6 pole wiring stock for high volt out put. In other motor conversions I perelell the 6 coils rather than leaving them in (stock) siries. This is for low volt use.

This motor toped out at 80 amps this way (50 mph) but was not as good on the startup amps as the Garbogen.

Thats why I've put more effert into the Garbogen. 2 less magnets and a littel better startup. Theres more 10-15 mph wind than 50 mph wind. Here atleast.

3 phase ac motors are typicaly 220/440 volt motors. Justwire them for 220 volt and they'll do good as 48 volt chargers.
