Motor use of conversion

[mustang19432001]

Thanks for putting up with me yet again.

I have a bunch of Kenmore vacuums and it just occurred to me that I could use them to produce AC and run a battery charger to charge a battery bank, AC to an AC/DC converter, or convert the motor to DC for obvious reasons. The big question is which method would be more practical. Another question is what size and style turbine would be recommended for this 1,500 watt motor with an average wind speed of 5-10 mph. judging from the Beaufort Scale with the leaves and tree tops fluttering about half the time.

Thanks. Mustang

There are none to empty as those who are so full of themselves.

Yours Truly.

Most of this he asked yesterday and got an answer. He should read it.

As far as I know, vacuum motors spin in excess of 10,000 rpms.

So unless this is a different motor you're talking about, it would be impossible to use for wind.

A well designed 7-8 foot turbine has a top speed of about 500-600 rpms and larger rotors turn even slower. There are some smaller units that can go up to 1800-2000 rpm but they are most likely to break down or wear out in no time.
