ah! but now its no longer an induction motor its a PM alternator :) This will of course work as a generator for small wind and is the basic idea behind most turbines up to 15kW. The problem with an actual induction motor is that it has a very limited speed voltage range due to the the large variatio...

Induction motors can make good or bad generators depending on application. They are great for constant speed applications without major overloads and were used in many of the older "big white" wind turbines as a running motor will generate if overrun (hence easy regenerative braking in EVs...

Hi Rob

I bought the unit from "chargerbay solutions" http://www.chargerbaysolutions.co.uk/

There are several similar units around, this seemed the best value and they were quite helpful.

Hope this helps

I recently bought a battery water deioniser to ensure a fresh reliable supply of water for the batteries in our blingo. It was not cheap but I also work with other batteries for solar systems and it does the job there too. Deionised water is "best fresh" and should not be left lying around...
