Hello,was wondering if anyone has tried a fan motor from a Lennox furnace blower motor.They are probalbly rare and hard to find but the upper line of furnaces have these DC motors that are effiecient,but very expensive new. Not even sure if they could be reused as a wind turbine,Just asking if anyone has tried these units here in Usa. Thanks Catch_66 Do what you can today, Tommorow may not allow. |

If you had one, or could borrow, beg, steal one, you should give it a go. I think I have seen these before, they are a permanent magnet 3 phase DC motor, similar in princible to a F&P but the magents are on the inside instead of the outside. They should work well as a generator. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Hello, Thanks for reply,I will keep a look out for one. I just bought a 30v ametec motor as my first project and that will charge my batteries with excess dump going into my DHW heater,with a 12v element.Anyone using excess loads into water heater and how well it works,and effiecientcy? A nice forum with lots of info. Thanks,Cheers Catch_66 Do what you can today, Tommorow may not allow. |
