I don't think my question is understood... But thanks for your time everyone...
I think the only way is to get two of the same motors, hook them up and give it a go...
If you are turning a generator by hand that is directly wired to a electrical motor will it transfer the electrical energy produced by the generator to a electric motor more or less efficiently then with a pure mechanical system? assuming that the input energy is located away from the output...
sailboats do not require more then say 15hp because they can only reach a certain speed because of there design. there is a motor called a torqeedo its an electric 9.9hp outboard and it was used in its testing to power a 40 foot sail boat at normal speeds
What would be the wattage ratting for a gas/diesel generator to power an electric motor with these specs.
72-144VDC
190A Continuous
43.7HP Continuous
Thanks
The electric motor is using battery bank #1 while #2 is being charged by the vert turbine/solar/gas-gen. What you are asking is i think called a series hybrid setup where the turbine is directly sending power to the engine, so up wind it should theoretically be neutral because there's more wind...
Thanks for your interest. I have built a few things with the idea of "Alternative'' propulsion and i simply like to go against the grain. I'm not very experienced with electronics thus why I am here. I guess my basic question is - Would a 120v / 240v - 5000 watt Vertical wind turbine be able to...
Hello,
Im new to the forum, i joined to ask a question about a boat I've been obsessing about for awhile. My idea is an aluminum sail boat (27-40') that has its mast removed and replaced with say a 3-4kw vertical wind generator (350lb) i know that's a bit heavy but I am sure the wind forces are...
