Thank you all for your responses. The RPM for the motor at 12 V is about 3000 RPM. I have tested the motors with the exhaust of a vacuum cleaner at with wind at about 30 MPH. I will try the schottky diodes and see how they work.
Thank you for the response. I plan to use a full wave rectifier on each motor and then connect them in parallel. Do you think this is a good way to connect them to achieve max power?
I am building a scale model wind farm with 10 Brushless DC motors. Each motor is rated 12v and 1.3 amps. Provided that I can generate 12 V on each motor, what is a realistic amount of power that I can generate?
Thank you.
I did that and removed the circuits. I will add a full bridge rectifier to have dc output, but my question is still how many amps would come out if the output voltage is 12V.
I want to use a 12V DC Brushless permanent magnet motor as a wind powered electrical generator for a project. The motor is rated DC 12V and 1.20 amps. Once I reach an output of 12V does that means that I also have 1.2 Amps?
Thank you.
