| Hi all,,,
I have been looking at the induction conversion projects for quite a while, and plan on doing one very soon,, I have started building a sandia savonius turbine and hope to expand it to around 7' tall and 20" in diameter.(right now it is 2' tall). I would like to have a direct drive system and since induction conversions are usually good for low speed cutin speed it thought it would be good..
So,,I'm currently working at a large industrial plant that makes Nylon, So there are alot of surplus things sitting around for the taking..
I have access to
- V , 240V and 575V single and 3 phase motors
- /4 , 1/2 , 1 , 1.5 , 2 , 3 HP motors
- , 1750 , 1150 , possibly lower RPM motors,
And I currently have 12 magnets that are 1" x 2" x 0.5" that I bought from wonder magnet..
Which motor would be the best to convert.
I was concidering if the turbine works good, is to purchase one of the Windy Boy grid tie inverters that are made to be battryless and voltages as high as 600V
Thanks
Jeff
