Anybody know what it is at max speed , i only ask as i have been having a mess around in the shed again
I saw a few vids on stoopidtube the other day regarding turning DC motors into generators , as i had a spare not so good pump in the pile i thought i would have a play around , i took the pump assembely off and whacked a drill on the shaft of the motor to see what it would put out in the way of volts .
I got a rather good result of 14.6 volts which is bang on for charging purposes , kind of what you want from a vehicle alternator with the advantage of not having the van running all day , this is where the problem pops its head up , i had to crank the drill up to 3000 RPM to achieve it .
The 2 hurdles are ....... 1 . I really dont think that the pump goes anywhere near that !
2 . I think i may have welded up the bearings
