I’m kinda new at this anyway I have a 4000 watt capacity power transformer 24 volt and would like to match it up to a dc motor to run my household. I would, in essence, like to build my own wind generator or buy one at a fairly reasonable price as money is a little tight right now. If at all possible I would like to purchase a vertical fan blade as well as I’ve heard they are more energy efficient. I would like one which provides ample power at low wind velocities? Any suggestions?

Hello, I run a small machine shop in Detroit, Michigan. I am interested in manufacturing custom wind generator motors. Can anyone provide me some feedback in regards to what potential customers might be looking for (i.e. size, RPM, wire diameter, etc.)?

I have built three pma’s and none of them put out what they said they would. I see people that have built thier own from thier own designs and still only get 300-800w out of them. Unless there are better plans out there i think they are not worth the money. Are there any dc motors that will put out high watts at low rpm? Alot of the dc motors that are on ebay and other sites are not good for wind generators but thats what they are being sold as. I need one that will really do something. If not then is there a way to wire a few in series? I am building a large vawt that will turn one big motor or several in series off one shaft. Rob
