Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

what is a good motor (or should I say generator?) to use with a wind project? student wishes to compare different turbine designs.

Science Buddies has a complete description for a project that may have some similarities to what you are doing. Check it out for some possible tips: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... g&from=TSW

In the above project description, it suggests you can get a generator by way of a windmill kit from Amazon.com for about $10.

Here's a project description for building your own generator: http://www.all-science-fair-projects.co ... 8f640.html
