Magnet Motor Generator – Generators That Use Magnets
Author: James Watson
It is better to save money spent on power bills because in the long run you will end up losing a huge amount of money when you could easily make a magnet motor generator. You will realize very late that your neighbor or friend managed to save money using alternative energy solutions which you either did not know of or knew but was not interested in knowing more. Since cost of living is a big cause of worry, it is better to keep your ears wide open for information regarding alternative energy solutions like a magnet motor generator.
All this may sound complex, but is actually quite easy. After gaining first hand experience, you can help your close friends and others who may be interested.

To build your own magnet motor generator you will need these step by step instructions. Follow the link below to get the blueprints today - magnet motor generator
how do we express the capacity of a motor and of a generator?
the capacity of a motor is measured in BHP(British horese power).Please explain BHP. What kVA? how do we know how much load a generator can take? Any website to know the info of Motor-Generator, Power plant, Air conditioners and Earthing.
Is there a portable generator with a motor and generator that is made in America?
I was ready to order an Onan generator and found out that it is a Chinese motor. The same for the Power Max generators. I suspect that Briggs and Tecumseh engines are foreign made also. I want to buy something that is dependable and that I can still get repair parts in a few years. Any advice welcome.
motor/generators for homemade windmill?
i am thinking about try to make a homemade windmill. for a hs science competition, i made a small scale one that worked well, and we had to use the standard little DC motors as the generator and it worked well.
when i was talking w/ my tech teacher, he said that this would only work w/ dc motors, i mean the generating power part. is this true, b/c i have an old blender motor i was thinking of trying to turn into a windmill motor? if you have any more questions about the motor, i will try to answer them as best i can. i also have an old garage door motor. will either work?
thanks
If i have a 3 fase 110v electric motor and use it as a gen’rator will it actualy become 3 diffrent generators?
I had to spell things a bit differently in the title to make it all fit in the allotted space. Anyways. When a 3 phase motor is used as a generator will it become three seperate generators when powered by an engine? When it is a capacitor start motor, will the start capacitor excite the generator (motor) and will it need to be converted to a motor RUN capacitor?
Can two portable 10 kw Generators run by the same motor at the same speed, be Synchronized together ? and how?
please give schematic if possible or info on where to get this information from.
If indeed you do have a three phase 120 volt electric motor (rare) you will be abel to have two power Supply but not three. The third phase is a combination for the other two legs (phases) and will result in a higher voltage the you will be able to use (generally around 180 volts) Just know there are some differences between an electric motor and a generator, prime example being a voltage regulator (the reason you hear a generator change sounds when something plugged into it.) Circuit protection breaker for amp over draw, source of grounding etc…
While what you are thinking about can be done it will require a lot of effort and design, it will probably be cheaper to buy a generator.
I hope this helps.
nope, most electrical is made in Mexico. there might be a few small us company’s out there, but they’re unaffordable. if you want a cheap one, it will most likely be made in mexico. if it says china, don’t get it.
The blender motor is probably a universal motor. That is a DC motor with the field connected in series with the armature. That type of motor is called “universal” because it will work on either DC or AC. It is possible that it would work as a DC generator, but I think that you would need to open it up and reverse the field connection. It would need some residual magnetism to get started as a generator and it might not have enough.
The garage door motor might work by following the directions in the link provided in another answer.
Something larger than the little motor that you have already used but very similar, would be a permanent magnet DC motor from a car. They are used for electric windows, windshield wipers, electric seats and even the fan that blows air through the radiator. Probably not all motors used for those purposes are permanent magnet motors, but I think many are. Some have gears attached that might be impossible to remove. I have a radiator fan motor that would work quite well. You could probably be able to get one of those at a salvage yard.
British horsepower is also known as just horsepower.
One horsepower = 745.7 watts
See the howstuffworks link for an interesting look at horsepower.
To find the rated electrical input power required for a motor knowing the horsepower:
kVA = (hp*.7457)/(eff*pf)
where kVA = rated input power in kilo volt-amps
hp = rated output horsepower
eff = motor efficiency (Pout/Pin)
pf = power factor of the motor
In general, a generator can take a load that is equivalent to the input power times the generator efficiency. After all, a generator just converts energy from a mechanical form to electrical form with some losses in the process. I admit that it isn’t quite as simple as that, though, so I recommend further reading.
Try Wikipedia, howstuffworks, etc for a start with general reading. Those should lead to the more in-depth stuff.
It’s possible, but not practical in a small generators.
The two outputs would have to be exactly in phase.
Even if running at exactly the same speed, the sine wave output could still be out of phase.
A difference of even a few degrees could be disastrous.
