PM motor site
By monte350c, Section Homebrewed Electricity Posted on Thu Oct 23, 2003 at 10:06:57 AM MST
Just came across this site.....

Hi All,
As usual while looking for something on the web I came across this site which was totally unrelated to what I was looking for!
http://www.goldenmotor.com/frame22-hubx.htm
There's a couple of low RPM brushless DC hub motors that look interesting, and the prices listed at the bottom of the page seem fairly reasonable too.
Looks to me if you combined a couple of those plastic pipe blades posted by zubbly and one (or more) of these little motors you might have a good cheap source for 400 to 500 watts.
Ted.

I wonder if you built a VAWT and ran the wheel off the bottom of it. Like a large wheel, the VAWT driving the small wheel, I bet you'd get some RPMs to the small wheel. You could use the bottom flat side of teh VAWT and just move the wheel in or out to get the RPM you wanted. You, know, that might be a bad Idea to try with a regular generator.

Neat website find! Sounds like a good idea to me but I wish someone who knew more about electricity than me would comment. Are these "hub" motors also made in USA?

looks like theyre made in china. Pretty neat though - and the prices are great. As they are wound, they are not 12 volts, and the rpm are pretty low. So I suspect they might make for good small 12 volt windmills... better might be 24 volts. They all seem to be 24, or 36 volts and the rpm are real low, so I think they might not be quite right for your average HAWT. Hard to say though - itd sure be fun to experment with one.

I wonder how much the shipping from china would be?
what does this mean?
*All prices quoted as F.O.B Shanghai, and subject to change from time to time
sounds to me like they might male nice little generators.
I wonder if we could get OP to test and carry them if it works out?
Just a though

Geek:

Pretty much means they will load it on the shippers vehicle and that the price may change any time.

Cheers.
