It's not a new idea.....biggest problem it's

gear driven....small motor won't last very long

Can you imagine using a drill every time the wind

blew? even a couple of hours at a time even 25%

duty cycle 24/7 ?

One time the plant manager replaced the buffer

motors on a conveyor line with 1/2 drills, they

ran 8hrs on day shift, about 3 days later we

watched them burn out one by one over the next

couple of days...they were quickly replaced with

new ones....the next week they put in the regular

motors with direct drive.
