The first one I got years ago I was going to make a windmill with a voltage regulator to charge an RV battery. That didn’t happen though, I built a homemade solar panel instead. I’ve got a 75’ ham radio tower I need to put up first. Connecting a drill to the shaft of the motor I was getting 19 volts for as fast as that drill would go. Also, anyone messing with these you’ll see two blue wires coming out, they can be cut and capped, they go to an over temperature sensor inside the motor. thanks for that info on the wires. A dc generator would be nice too.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
