Hi everyone. I have tried for a long time to make myself a windmill with little sucsess. Most of my projects i have given up as off loss of confidence or the fact that magnets cost ALOT in norway. (Probably 5 times as much as in USA) But i am yet to give up my quest for green power.
So about a week ago a friend gave me a SEIMEC italian motor that came off an industrial machine. And i belive that this could be a great project to start on, as all i miss now is the magnets(in theory) Can you guys verify this for me tho?
The plate say the following: TIPO HF: 80/A2, CAV. 1, Kw 0.75, GIRI 2780, SERV. C, POLI 2, Hz 50, % 75, COS 087, Fase 1 is 220v, 2.9 A, second fase is 380V, 1.7A. I have no idea what this means, but im sure some of you have some idea. Anything i need to know?

I't weights about 5-6 kilos, 10-12 pounds.
So my big question is:
A: Will this make for a great low to medium rpm windmill?
B: What sort of magnets and how many would you recomend for this build for a decent output, And what output would you expect off this if you did the job.
C: What size blades should i make for it to operate decently, and shoule i make them from PVC or should i go for fiberglass wing shaped blades.
Well thats a mouthfull of question for you guys, hope i get some awnsers in here
