Sell it for scrap and put the 22c into a better motor for a wind generator.
You are in for a lot of work with it, and in the end you will still get 2/5 of bugger all power out of it.
Find a better motor and your efforts will be rewarding.

Not me; but that's going to change just as soon as my divorce is final! Once that happens, I intend getting out to where my neighbors are at least farther from me than I can spit. At the present, I live in San Diego, CA (USA) in the concrete jungle.

Hi Kevindion,
Dont take any notice of some of the knockers in here, some of them are so tied up in wringing the last amp out of thier mill, to beat other site members, that they forget the simple pleasure they got out of makeing the amp meter move with something they made themselves.
I got cried down for rewireing a 5 1/4 floppy drive motor and attaching the blades off a desk fan!, It made some power, and that made me happy.
go ahead and experiment to your harts content,
I have now progressed to f&p motors, and have had many up and and working well, and a few down and destroyed, the wind is very vicious here. ( I am still looking for two blades that came off when the tail stop failed and the blades furled into the tail in 35 knot winds )
haveing said this, you will find there are some members that are very knowledgeable and more than willing to help you, AND some members that are not so knowledgeable but still willing to help you, it is up to you to weed them out.
Best of luck
grolly

if you were to machine some strong neos into thatinductin core and put some solid metal in behind them instead of the squirrel cage tose coils should produce some usable power. make a slant core out of it and the cogging should be minimal. If you don't have access to a machine shop if your carefull and take your time with a mini grinder you can get the slots cut and epoxy them in. Get rid of the starting cap though, or use it somewhere else. Edited by itsandbits1 2010-10-07
