good day! i have a electric stand fan at home that has 3 buttons for 3 different speed selection. The fan is fully functional when plugged to outlet. However, i need to convert the electric fan motor to function as generator. My idea is to connect a power drill on the shaft of electric motor to function as prime mover rotating the 220v electric fan motor producing at least 100volt . there are 5 pins , the first picture uploaded is the wiring diagram from the Standard electric fan,
the 2nd picture is the resembled article based on my research http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-3-speed-fan-switch.html -under 3 speed motor
The goal of this project is to convert a motor to function as generator. The only testing parameter to be done is to connect an voltmeter across the terminal. Can someone who was familiar with motors guide me through the process.
From class lecture, we know that generating terminal voltage requires:
1. energized field winding
2. mechanical work rotating the motor.
i tried connecting a ac voltmeter across the ac plugs, the max voltage i can get is only 10V ac considering the prime mover rotating at max speed and trying on other speeds.
Hoping for a guide. Many thanks
