Playing with wind power

[J57ltr]

Wasn't really thinking direct drive I was thinking 4:1 to the motor. I have a bunch of prototype parts from when I was developing a small coonveyor for our company so I have a bunch of .080" pitch belts and some 60 tooth 1/4" sheaves and belts and 15 tooth sheaves that are bored to 5mm (our motor uses a 5mm shaft too). I think the gearboxes would have too much drag, and the only ones I have are about 30:1 and another that's about 100:1.

I swear that at the same RPM the lower KV motor had a higher voltage out.

This is going to be a pretty small unit about 16" tall and about 12" in diameter. Just for testing too see what I can do just with what I have laying around.
