Hello
I want to make a circuit that uses a a motor to work hoist and lift an object up. When this object is lifted, i will shut off my motor, and i want to drop the object and spin the motor backwards (making it a generator) and try to create electricity that i could try to store. Firstly i am wondering what type of motor would be best suited for this application. The motor must have a relatively low voltage (12VDC maybe), and will be powered from the wall, with some sort of power adapter in-between to supply the correct power. I know a little about motors, and so far i am leaning towards a small brushless DC motor, i am just unsure if i could generate electricity spinning in reverse. Any advice or guidance is welcome.
Thanks
