@Raymond The origin of the motor is a bit shady since it was donated to the project by an external source. I'll post (eventually) more details on the electrical aspects of the project.

@Carlitos Can you give information on the the old AC motor used, is it a perminent magnet type with brushes or brushless, is it a motor that was once used on the mains supply and adapted for this wind turbine, thanks Ray.

@Rhythmtech Sorry for that. I meant old AC motor. Indeed the electrical part id very interesting and i will publish further details about it soon.

The “Old DC motor” looks like a 2 speed AC fan motor to me. It appears that the cap leads go to a plastic box and there is a rectifier also connected. Was this motor converted to DC, how does that circuit work, it seems like it would be the most interesting part of the project to me.
