pm motors at surplus center www.surpluscenter.com]

[johnnyo]

i was wondering if any body has used any of thease pm dc motors for windgenerators,and also which would be the best,at say 24v. i am not a electrican. and new to this. i bought acerage in a remote place in mo. hooking to the grid will be to expensive. be nice not to have a power bill every month anway. i'm building a hugh piggot 10' generator right now,it probbaly wont produce quite enough power,so im always looking for something new and a little easier to build. had a little mishap with my set of 2"x1"x1/2"thick n40 nickel magnets, broke one.does any one have one or two i could buy? need to finish my project,and start working on my tower.oh couldn,t put this in title.[www.surpluscenter.com]or 1-800-488-3407.   thanks,  johnnyo

" i bought acerage in a remote place in mo."

Fancy that, and I just happened to buy a Motor home and like remote camping and building gennies

Well neighbor what part are you in, I am South Central MO.

As for the DC motors some are better than others, some work good, some not too good.

 Need info about the motor to figure if it would be good or not.

 Best are brushless and with bearings. Motor voltage, rated speed as a motor, amps, HP etc.. are usefull info.

nothing to lose, my place is located 12miles east west plains mo. i'm planning to move there in 2 to 3 years. i've did quite a bit with the place so far but need to finish some things for periment stay. i've retired from one job, but still working to pay for pole barn, and a couple of nessary toys. will be quitting that job by next year. i don't have enough time off to go down there right now. new job no time off. funny how it works that way. after posting first subject[pm motors],i google surched past postings and deturmind that pm motors wood not be feisable for me;not enough power. i should stick with with homemade type. piggot stile. mabey enlarge to say the 17' model.      hey guys out there i still need a 2"x1"x1/2" n40 nickle plated magnet to finish my first 10' genny. please respond if any one knows where i can get one or two.  johnnyo thanks      speling and typeing are not my strong points either. neather are computers cant figure how to use spell ck. i do referigation for a living,also welding.        thanks johnnyo

Well like I said, Neighbor

If you get down this way for awhile send me an e-mail, if I am around we'll get together and do something if you want. Maybe build a gennie or raise a tower or just go get coffee.

 Sounds like you would be about my area, maybe less than an hours drive or bit more depending how the roads run between us.

For those magnets you need I can't help, but wondermagnet.com (our forum hosts above) sell lots of neos, check them. I know they sell that size, not sure if higher than N35 though. I've bought stuff from them and they are great. If they don't have what you need then check E-bay, I know they are on there from various dealers but I have not bought from any of them.

[johnnyo]

looking forward to meeting you. i'll let you know when i make another trip down.                     thanks for the info.   johnnyo

johnnyo,

I need an email address. I can probably spare a magnet.  I've read the thread two or three times and don't see a way to contact you.

Be sure and obscure your email addreess where the auto harvesrters can't read it.

I've had good luck with this guy - he usually has everthing in stock that his website claims:

https://www.magnet4sale.com/xcart4/product.php?productid=16302&cat=255&page=3

Also, next month he will be selling imported fiberglass blade sets (Chinese).

I have no financial interest in the above seller, he's just familiar to me because we're located in the same town.

thanks slingshot i'll look him up and send him my email address, i already have a magnet comming from china magnet at ebay.;would like to check out the windgenerator blades though. thanks johnnyo

I bought 24 2x1x0.5" from http://www.magnet4less.com/NB004.html at 3.40 per piece, it works great for me, just another good source of neo magnets...
