How to calculate output of a motor used as a generator

[phatlosz]

Does anyone know how to figure out how to calculate a motor's output when used as a generator based on the manufacturer's specs for its operation?

ie. Small, but powerful DC motor. 0.40" x 0.32" x 0.66" long. Operates on 1.5 - 3.6 Vdc. 110mA @ 3Vdc, no load. 500mA with load.

I'm trying to figure out what various motors are capable of without having to buy all of them.

Thanks!

Did I post this in the right forum, or should I have posted it in another category?

Could I assume that if it the motor were spinning 100 RPM and consumed 1.5 Volts, that it would produce 1.5 Volts if I were spinning it at manually at 100 RPM?

Thanks.

Yes. Assuming it is a permanent magnet motor, which yours appears to be.

And yes, I believe this is the correct forum to post this type question.
