Generator Altenators
« on: September 30, 2008, 02:00:25 PM »
Just wondering outloud here - Has anyone ever hear of, or used an old portable generator altenator as a wind turbine?


Reason for the question is I have a 5000 Watt Generator that died but the altenator is fine.  Just wonder if it could be used in this format.........

It's not impossible but so impractical that it would never be worth the trouble. It is wrong in just about every respect and the performance would not be good even after all the effort. Try to sell it to someone with a good engine and dead alternator.
