Mini 5v Generator Using 12v Printer Motor
Description
I'M Experimenting With A Generator That I Can Attach Windmill Blades. For Now, I Have A Handle On It, So To Speak. :) It Uses A 12V Printer Motor I Scrapped And A Couple 4 X 608Zz Bearings I Had Laying Around. I Think They Were Rollerblade Bearings. I Ended Up Just Using A Clip To On Hold The Top Of The Motor Mount. The Goal Is To Add A Couple Of Small 6V Solar Panels And Turning It Into A More Robust And Efficient System That Charges A Lipo And Can Have A Light And Charge A Cell Phone Or Something. It Turns Out To Be Surprisingly Efficient. With The Handle, It'S Pretty Easy To Generate 3-4 Volts. I Connected It To The Electronics From An Old Solar E-Cig Charger That Has Solar Panel Inlets, A Built In White Led Flashlight, A Lipo Battery And Charging Circuit. It Generates Enough Power To Operate It, As You Can See In The Photos. It Could Be Made Even Better With A Larger Main Gear. I Think It Is Currently 10:1. The Main Gear Was Reaching The Max Size Of My Printer. Next I'M On To Designing Some Light Weight Blades To Spin It.
