www.WindEnergyGuide.net - AMETEK 40v DC Motor - For a Wind Generator The AMETEK 40vdc motor is definitely a great motor for a wind generator, but it's just an example. This motor is extremely popular for people who want to build a wind generator, but it's not the only motor you can use. There are equally if not better motors that are readily available and don't cost near as much. The popularity of the AMETEK 40vdc motor has driven up its price. Here's what to look for in a motor, so you can efficiently build a wind generator. A Motor Is a Generator and a Generator Is a Motor A motor uses electricity to create rotational energy, while a generator uses rotational energy to make electricity. You can physically spin a motor and it will create electricity. This means that any appliance or household equipment that uses electricity to create rotational movement has the potential to become a generator. When you spin a motor and it will create electricity it's then called a generator. A motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, the only difference is their application. Why Use 3pole Motors Instead of 2pole Motors When you turn a motor into a generator with your wind power, you're essentially converting a motor into a generator. A motor works by flipping magnetic fields to produce rotation. When you use a 2 pole motor for this, there is a moment when the electromagnet is at a balance point within the magnetic field, this causes the positive and negative on your batteries to ...

the wind will make it go around and around and one day the wires will wrap and break or short out your rig and how did you conect to the batery if you touch it to a batery strate it will spin the motor you have to put diods in line did you all ready do thise
