hi, I've been inspired by this wind generator design: http://www.instructables.com/id/Pringles-Wind-Turbine-Pleech---Version-One/
to make it operate in reverse, that is, feed alternating current and make the thing spin.
The purpose of this is to make a pump by putting a wheel (similar to those seen in airplane turbines) inside a tube, and fixing the coils outside of the tube. The weel would have magnets attached at the rim (like the one in the generator). Do you think that it would work? would i need to synchronize the current so the wheel won't jam? what advices can you give me?
