Default RE: anybody tried this or thought about it?

i was thinking about that earlier but how much hp would it rob?? these motors dont put out alot. guess it just comes down to trying it and then getting it to generate 6 volts

in school we built a little generator we would spin it by hand and once it started spinning it would create its own power and run itself. but i dont remember how we built them. see im thinking more along the lines of making the spur the actually generator

problem with both these ideas is if the spurs not spinning power is lost.

so a more sound idea would be to make the generator create enough volts to keep the battery's charged. not actually to charge them but more or less make it like an alternator on a car.


we need some engineers
