Hi guys,I have my small turbine up and turning ,
The dynamo connected is not affective,
So I have been trying a smaller windshield wiper motor.
I have welded a pulley on the shaft,and have got a few fan belts to drive it.
On testing with a electric drill ,It only puts out 5v 1 amp.
I was thinking of using two motors wired together,
but I still dont know if I will get enough power to charge a set of batteries.
should I scrap this idea and look for a better motor,
thanks frank

A motor with a bigger diameter designed for lower RPM use. would be better
