I am working on getting the parts together to build my first small perminat magnet motor wind generator. I will be following the steps at
www.thekevdog.com/projects/wind_generator His looks easy to build. He used a Ametek motor off an old treadmill. Well Ametek is about a half hour away from my house and they do not make that motor any more. So What am I looking for (specks) in a dc motor. I am trying to make this for as little money as posible and also using as much recycled products. My tower is a 50' tubular TV antenna tower and i will be using PVC pipe to make my props. I install septic systems so I have lots of scrap pipe. Please let me know what I am looking for in a DC motor.
