Ben's Aemetek 100W generator Part 3
« on: May 30, 2006, 02:24:55 PM »
Recieved the eagerly awaited Ametek 30v motor off Tom today.

Got it all hooked up and mounted on a very short test pole.

Got up to 9 volts, 3ft off the ground!!!

Noticed my blades were badly out of balance, ordered some new alluminium ones - too much disgust by some :)


Due to limitations on picture size here, I am hosting them myself plus a small video

Overall very happy so far - need to mount on my main tower and get some balanced blades fitted. and waterproof the motor with a piece of 4" PVC guttering.
