I picked up a couple of nice Ametek 30V DC motors awhile back. They are dated March 1979. 4" diameter , 6" in length. Certainly different than the newer Ametek 30's that I see on the net.
I also pilfered a 24v DC motor from an old Toro lawn mower. I cannot find any good specifications but guess they run at 3000 rpm. So I highly doubt I would make 12v at 1500 rpm on a wind generator. Though I am using it for my initial set-up, I will replace it with the Ametek when I'm ready.
Note that this all for fun. Some goals are to integrate it with my small solar set-up and build a controller that will handle both.
