I have been planning a windmill project for a while. This is a back-up charger for when there is little wind. Its a 3.8hp Murry lawnmower spinning a Delco-Remy off my old Ford.

Yeah your car …
Yeah your car already has an alternator spinning on the motor. And a car motor has way more horsepower than that little lawnmower. It can move enough amps to cook battery cables.

Hey Bro,
All you …
Hey Bro,
All you need is an Ametek motor off ebay ( for the generator) and blades made of 6” PVC & a 30 amp diode, tower & with a little luck you would have what you need!! Let me know what you think? Rick.

cool, so you used …
cool, so you used an alternator powered by a lawn mower engine corect? and you used the car batery but your right about the windmill, all you really need is a big airplane prop and hook a pully to the back of the rod fron it and hook that belt to the alternator and you got your batery running off of the wind, but also cars could benifit fron this too, just put a windmill under the hood in front of the engine to keep the batery charged while going at high speeds
