Junk

I have some old lawn mowers and chain saws. Is it possible to use the magnet pully and line up 4 or 5 coils and put it on an old wind mill for the purpose of making electricity. I'm disabled but able to tinker around in the shop. Have already made a water solar collector for HW or radiator blower use. Thanks

Re: Junk

If you do a little searching on the Internet you'll find plans to build windmills out of items like computer tape drive motors, brake drums, and other things.  I've also seen plans for a pretty cool generator made from an old lawnmower and a car alternator.  I think it would be a better idea to use someone else's successful design than to reinvent the wheel.  IMHO

Where I wrote "more interesting stuff," I wasn't implying that what your doing isn't interesting, just more interesting stuff like what your doing.
Another place to try would be the online archives of the Mother Earth News magazine.

John I powered a motor out of hard drive using electric drill and got 2.5 VDC and the old ATV I have runs the lights off the magneto
