I have a stupid questions for you guys....
Would it be possible to say use one of those 12 volt cheap solar panels to power an amatek generator motor?
I mean the really cheap solar panels can produce 12 volts. enough to power say a 12 volt motor that in turns powers the amatek generator.
I am new here so please excuse me if I have asked a really stupid question.

I'm glad that is sorted out Larry.
I also went down many wrong roads before I 'found' the internet and in particular the U.S fieldlines forum.
There's a huge amount of knowledgable contributors on that forum, but maybe oversubscribed now which can cause problems with repetitive questions.
That's why I started the gotwind forum - reading prior posts on both forums will answer almost all questions, patience and persistance is what is required.
Your URL is fine, as it is renewable energy related.

Thanks Ben, That was what I was thinking but was not too sure. I will not try it now as I am running low on money with all my projects for wind and solar going;-) Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
I am trying to update my blog with video so others can see what I am trying and what works and what I could not get to work. (http://larrylawrencejr.com)(Please remove the url if not allowed)
Thanks again.

Hi larry.
I think what your asking is a not a good idea.
It would be a hugely inefficient to try and drive an ametek motor from a solar powered second motor.
The power output from the ametek compared to the input power, very roughly would be about a 1/10th or less.
e.g Would you exchange 10 dollars for 1 dollar - probably not...
Best to stick to a wind powered ametek or a solar to battery set up.
Hope this helps.
Ben.
