    Turbine wind generator

    I feel totally ridiculous opening this thread but I guess somebody will have fun with it.
    Yesterday I had to move a boat of mine and when I pulled up the anchor along came this wind generator.
    Little research and this is a very good unit.
    Pulled it apart and the coil seems to be good, continuity between the three leeds and it does not ground out.
    But I have something that I know you guys can make something incredible out of.
    My goal is to be able to charge 6 X 8D batteries with this unit FAST and be able to keep up with my load.
    My load at this time is not known but I guess the max this baby can handle will be good enough for me.
    Shall I just restore her?, or shall we have fun?

      When you are posting scroll down and there will be a manage attachments? option. You have to upload the images, so make them small.

          Hey Shellback,
          Let me know what you find. Even if it is an old farm-style, if it spins, or you can get it to spin, you have a pump/turbine.

            Definitely go for it... Those marine wind gens are awfully expensive. Many i've seen will put out 6 amps or more. There are versions of those that tow behind a boat underwater, too.

            They are pretty corrosion resistant so if it wasnt in the water too long you may be in luck

            All i ever snag with my anchor is sea weed and clumps of stinking mud ;(

              Soak it

              Its usuallly do able to restore these.

              Like engines that have been submerged. There is a process for bringing them back. There are solutions to dip and leave to displace moisture.

              Try it! What have you to lose.

              You sound like a man who has great potential for fishing!

              Good Luck...

                  looks good.
                  personally i would be more likely to cut the blades off and use it as a gene, maybe on a Bedini SG wheel, as these turbines are designed to be as little resistance as possible.

                    I still have not been able to find the parts I need..
                    The manufacturer is impossible to reach to get the values of the capacitor and the rectifier also a no go on that switch.
                    Can somebody please help.
