Both excellent points!

Of course! Below is a photo of the setup as of now. On the drive motor shaft (25mm outer diameter) I placed a smaller hose that has inner diameter of approximately 25mm and an outer diameter close to 28-29mm for diameter buildup. The drive motor is on the left, rotating at about 62 RPM. DC...

I ended up using the idea from Rive essentially using a garden hose and some clips. It works well since the speed is low and the load on the generator as of now is low. Thanks all for your responses.

Yes, where can I find them? And what are they called?

Not sure if I fully understand the question. But the last picture is indeed showing the actual arrangement of the shafts. The gear is not going to be used. The plan was perhaps to use bellows couplings or similar to attach the two together, but that is actually my question to you guys that are...

Thanks. I removed the generator along with the generator shaft from a small electric vehicle. It went into a gearbox on the vehicle. The gears will not be used. The end goal is to use the generator with some kind of wind propeller to generate electricity. I have just started this process and I...

I have a motor and a 3 phase generator which I would like to connect together, i.e. let the motor drive the generator and measure it's output. Each have their own type of shaft which do not fit together. I would therefore like to get some proposals, preferably which do not require custom work at...
