Outrunners are rotating case 3 phase DC motors the windings inside stay still they have tremendous torque I have a small one. What if you made a large one say 10ft in diameter and powered it with a ac to dc transformer or batteries, the transformer would be powered by the electric company.. the shaft torque would be tremendous since the case is so big in diameter and tied to the shaft. Then you tie the shaft to a smaller diameter ac generator could you power your whole house with a lower monthly electric bill? By the way larger outrunners for model planes don't use any more amps than the small ones just higher voltage.
You could also just use a bank of deep cycle batteries to power the outrunner. Then use the electric company power to recharge your batteries.
Thanks,
