Hi all, first posting on here, so please be gentle with me 
I've got a "Vickers" permag motor from a Whirlpool washing machine and I've done a few tests on it.
I'd like to charge some 12V batteries for a remote stable, so there would not be a heavy demand for power.
I spun it up at work with a cordless drill and electronic rev counter to check the outputs and these are the readings I got.>
It pushed out :-
9A @ 680RPM.
13.6v @ 770 RPM
15.3v @ 850 RPM **DC Voltages**
20v @ 1100 RPM
Would this motor be up to the job in hand and if so what type of overcharging control would I need?
If this sounds like a suitable motor to use, I'll post more details (model, dimensions etc) as to where more of them can be found for anyone interested.
Many Thanks in anticipation, Hef

Hi Hefhoover.
13.6v @ 770 RPM is fast for a wind propeller, half that speed would be good.
9A @ 680RPM sounds interesting?
Your motor maybe good for 6v battery charging - Further info would be useful, pictures are also helpful.
Here's how to post images.
Cheers
Ben. |

I have done it with worse!
Might try some fast 30 or 32" diameter wood blades.
Probably a good way to get a first project done.

| Cheers Glenn, Would the plastic blades be unsuitable for this do you think, as the shaft dia is only 9.5mm, I was hoping to go for lightness. Hef |

They would work, but it would take some pretty decent wind to get past 800RPM.
And that is pretty darn fast for PVC.
Might try trimming the trailing edge down a little.
Wood is usually faster.
