My name is Miguel and I'm from Portugal. I'm beggining in this subject of wind power and I would like to try to adapt a induction motor to become a generator.
I'd like to know if you can help me with the following questions:
1 - will I need to rewire the stator? If so should I use thicker wire or slimer? And the number of turns? (the objective is to obtain 12V or 24V)
2 - can use a lathe to reduce the size of the rotor?
3 - should I modify the connections between the coils? Into star or delta?
4 - How can I know the number of poles of the motor?
5 - should I use one or two magnets for pole? If I use two should they be placed side by side with the same magnetic pole facing the same side?
6 - Will I have to use bridge rectifiers for correcting the current? And a charge controler?
I sure hope I placed this questions in the right place, if not please let me know. Thank you for your time
Continue the good work
Miguel
