Free stators
By Jerry, Section Classifieds Posted on Wed Apr 2nd, 2008 at 05:15:59 AM MST
While supplies last.

I've been collecting garbage disposals for 5 years now.
I've noticed alot of newbies lately buying $5 fans/motors with hope to build a small wind generator and hope to learn something in the prosses. This will make that goal easyer.
The buityfull things about the garbage disposal motor, they are free, they can actully make a few hundred watts, you can get most of the conversion parts a the big box home improvement stores, only hand tools are required for a biginers level unit, you can carve or make PVC blades, bearings and shafts easy to get and biuld.
The stators are very easy to slide out of the motor cans. Since these motors are built for very short duty cycle use, they are built very loose and easy to modify for 12v or 24 volt use.
I have hundreds motor cans with stators ready for conversion. I don't use any of these below 1/2hp, even though I seen several hundred watts from these.
If you want one just pay the shipping and I'll send it to you.
For you Newbies this is a better motor to learn on then the motor that most newbies are asking about.
These motors are wound with aluminum coils. So theres no copper valiue to me and I could use the room and hopefully this will help a newby learn something. You can use $1.50 magnets from Lowes and make 50 watts or get some good magnets from our housts and make a couple hundred watts.
I have stories posted here on how to make end caps and wire things up. After this unit is completed it becomes a 2 phase PMA suitable for 4 ft blades.

OK guys.

I'm not internet savy. Whats the safest way to give my e-mail address.

You can e-mail me the ship to address then I can calculate the shipping amount.

I'll do this as time as supply permits. I reserve the right to stop this deal when I see fit.

I'll squeez this offer into my allready over loaded schedual.

That said lets have some fun.

It will be easyer for me if you e-mail me.

Jerry;

I'm not internet savvy. Whats the safest way to give my e-mail address.

If you still use your "old" address at AOL post it like this:

audiosourcesalem [at a place called] AOL.COM

Most folks can figure that out but the email gathering bots can't.

If you don't want it listed at all in the open, just say so here and I will nuke this comment.

We have a "freesalvage" website set up for members of Fieldlines. It is private for FL users so if you want I could list it there for you so you don't have to join up or do online stuff.

I will contact you at your email in the next few days about that.

Once again, glad to see you back, buddy. Very nice to offer those garbage disposals for shipping.

TomW

Hi TomW.

Thanks for the help. I guess my e-mail access must be working.

I got 5 request so far and this is just the day after. If this keeps up I'll end up with some room in my shop.

The stories of the last couple days about Zubbly inspiered me to get a few motor conversions going.

It would be kool to see that big Z on all of them.

Thanks again TomW.

OK guys.

I'm not internet savy. Whats the safest way to give my e-mail address.

To be honest Jerry, I've been using an undisguised e-mail address for years and I get relatively little (~15 per day) spam e-mails as a result. Although I must confess that I have no idea how all those spammer people learned about my diminuitive physical attributes (apparently people laugh at me!)

If getting spam is a concern for you, sign up for a free hotmail or gmail account and use it for this purpose. But it's really not that bad. ;-)

Jerry,

I responded to your diary and I want 2 sets of 3 blades at $20 each.

If I understand correctly you'll set up a garbogen with magnets and other details as mentioned in the diary for $175, minus rectifiers. I'll take one at that price. I consider this a bargin. Again, this is for a 12V system, if it matters.

72560 is the shipping zip for your calculations.

Does $!20 blades, $175 gargogen head only, for a total of $295 sound right (not counting shipping)?

Do you have a hub mount for the blades to the shaft? If so quote me price on that too. RichH sent me a hub clamp for my amtek, but that's for a 5/8" shaft. These have 1/2" shafts if I remember right. I want to save that for the new blades and make another attempt at making the amtek work.

I think you're looking at a pretty good side business if you wanted to pursue it.

Let me know what shipping and all come to and I'll cut you a check or make a paypal payment ASAP!

I'm more than ready to quit screwing around and stand on the shoulders of greatness.

You can use the email address in my info with the spam guard stuff changed. Man on man am I glad you're back!

:-)

I just pulled a motor out of a trash compactor, do you think this could be converted for a wind generator, I'll send pictures if you think its worth the time and effort, also i pulled the motor out of a electric garage door opener, I always pull motors out of spent appliances never know when you could use a motor. thanks Pat
