thankyou for responding major i dont know much about it but i know or think i know that a motor will produce electricity and a altenator can be used as a motor i am not sure of if it is powerfull enough to (the diy altenator for sale on the web site )(wingenkits.com)if it has enough torque or speed with a load i know it would be perfect to make a wheel motor out of as far as the way it is constructed as far as the atenators out put i am looking at web site it says for a 15 MPH wind it produces 198 watt it says in a 30 mph wind it produces 1600 watts well it says alot more than that but i dont know much about it so if any one can help explian more to me if this will have the torque and also speed i have also heard about a washing machine motor that is like this called a smart motor that it was able to produce over 700 volts evryone on you tube is trying to use these as altenaters for wind mills i wonder if they might be used as electric wheel motors for a car thank for any advise anyone
