I found out some more specifications on the motor. Because it is a fan motor it is single phase AC and appears to be an induction motor. This means that to use it as a generator I must have it on and make it spin faster than what it normaly does.
That gets rid of my plan to use it as a wind turbine to recharge batteries but I could still use it with a petrol motor to convert the mechanical energy output into electrical energy.
The only other think I can think of doing with it is to make a robot. But it will have a very long extension cord or $1000 of batteries with a DC to AC converter.
Any other ideas anyone?
Please see the previous posts for more information about my experiments.
