4Z525B - Ebay Steal!!!

[Sr WiNdTeCh]

I just got a used Dayton 4Z525B for 19.99 used on ebay. I tested it and with a flick of the wrist she puts out 6-10vdc and peaked at 1amp. Once I find a way to hook my drill up to it I'll report back for more.

Until then here are some stats:

Another ebay link of same motor: http://cgi.ebay.com/DAYTON-4Z525B-PERMANENT-MAGNET-DC-MOTOR-HP-3-4-RPM-1725-/150551926494?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230d9816de

And quoted from the above link -

HP: 3/4                                    ENCLOSURE: TEFC

RPM: 1725                               FRAME: NEMA 56C

TORQUE: 27.4 in-lbs                SHAFT: 5/8" DIA. X 1 7/8" L

VDC: 180 ARMATURE              SHAFT HEIGHT: 3-1/2"

BEARINGS: BALL

DUTY: CONTINOUS

MOUNTING: RIGID & C-FACE

This link is almost the same motor, I'm not sure what the B in my model number is for - http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-180-volts-DC-Motor-and-Controller-7Z226


So what do you think? A good deal or what? I really don't need it and only screwed around and bid on it because of the price.

It is a steal for a motor.

For a wind turbine, full load rated amps is 4.1A, and that's not a lot.
12V cut in is around 145RPM, which is low but still good for an extra-wide PVC bladed machine.

For a 12V wind machine, need to get some VERY wide Slow blades on it.
Think something really wide, like this, except with stiffer blade material,

Mine dose good with a set of aluminum  blades for low wind start up from England at a 51 inch swept area.
 YES they are a low amp motor a bit heavy  14 lbs as I remember and about the long.
 The blades I have are similar to the windy nation hyper spin 5 but before you put that money in the blades  you might want to look into a higher amp output motor. I did cut a set of blades out of a  pvc sewer pipe that ran out pretty good and stayed up there in several storms on 60 mph+ winds. It might be better if you hook one of hose dc to dc buck boosters to it.

I'd really like to just re-sell it, as I think I have a thread on here somewhere about the city not letting me install a wind turbine. Any offers?

[Isaiah]

Im not really interested in buying another on unless its real cheap.
 But you may want to list it here on the forum classifieds
 or re list it on ebay as a wind turbine motor you put the wind turbine on  or wind generator  you may make a buck or more than you paid.

Well the same motor is trying to be sold for 700$ on ebay so maybe I'll put 300$
