| I have this electric scooter motor and was wondering if I could use it as a generator to make power for my mower? I hooked it up to a computer fan and when its turning it powers the fan, faster it goes, the faster the fan goes. | |

So you basically want to use it as an alternator, run off the belt/ engine/ transaxle? Might work, but most engines already have a stator (alternator). Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| Permanent magnet brushed DC motors can be used as generator ( different than an alternator) but you will still need a voltage regulator.
Alternators are AC current so a regulator and a rectifier are needed to convert to DC
Brushlees motors will not work

| A simple regulator of an old 60s Ford truck would work. It will have to be specifically setup for a generator. Not a lot of vehicles use generators after the mid 70's or so.
The reg in my 69 econoline was actually a separate adjustable unit. | |
