Wind Gerators and DC Motors/ Solar Power
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:59 pm
Ok Bear with me.
I have an Idea that uses and old D/C Motor that could turn a 12 Volt generator.
As we know solar pannels them selves can't produce very high out put, unless you have a lot of them.
here is the Idea I have. Get an old wind generator motor Or Build one like techman has put up.
Get an Ol D/C 12 volt motor, Heck rip a razor scooter apart for the motors. those should do well as they only use 6 Volts but have a really High RPM rate.
Now the challenge is Coupling. We can direct couple but we would lose power as power is increased on the wind generator or..we can use a larger pulley and and a smaller pully on the wind generator..What ever size of pulley you want for what ever RPMS you are seeking.
and then of coarse your charge controllers and an inverter.
If done right in theory one should be able to run that motor and use the homemade generator fan to power the generator to charge your batteries and inverter. I will build a mini version of showing you how this can work.
I will begin to night when our son is sleeping.
The idea is solar panels only give out so much energy and it takes a lot of them to get real use full power. Where as connecting a motor to a few panels could yield the same result.
tell me what do you think?
Will this Idea work?
Willing to take tips and tricks as well.
