Stepper motors can come in various wire
formats, from 4 wire to 8 or more wires.
Use a multimeter to determine which
lead is which, then connect a couple of bridge rectifiers
as shown.
As the mini windmill uses a small two
blade design the RPM will be quite high ( very high!
). Therefore I would use high speed rectifiers and a
smoothing capacitor to reduce electrical noise in the
output.
Once you have the wind mill up and going,
measure the output voltage. If you intend to run voltage
sensitive devices from the windmill output, I would
recommend a 5 watt zener across the output |
