Default RE: turbine electric generator

ORIGINAL: lewandom

I was thinking of converting the starting moters into starter/generators would that be possable? thanks
No, the motors disengage from the turbine after starting. In order for them to be generators, you'd have to have motors that could withstand spinning at 120,000 RPM or so. That is not possible without active lubrication.

Why not use one battery with two, or three, regulators?
