Here's my 100 watt max version using the Ametek 30v DC motor. Worked well... www.gotwind.org [ Parent ]

nice setup.... i just rewired a old car alt with smaller wire--havent had a chance to check it out yet.  ive tried a few diffrant dc motors in the past--seems like just about any motor will work[depending on how many watts you want]--its just a matter of getting the gear ratio right.. summer winding down here --getting a little cool outside.  :{ WILD IN ALASKA [ Parent ]
