Renewable energy from unwanted, unloved motors, and a mean scooter.

Hey Everyone,

I've decided to enter this project into this years Hackaday Prize! Only issue there is that I need to make a new project page, so if anybody is interested in seeing future updates, tune in on: Scooterbine: The Next Chapter

Where is the project at? Well, I am doing some write ups on the new project page, which I might port to this project page at a later date for continuity. But basically I made the rotor work, but the generator doesn't go fast enough to really generate anything. So the next big task is to work on a functional generator. I have some plans for winding my own generator, and optimising it to run at 700RPM along with the rotor. (Eliminating the gearbox) If anybody has any knowledge around making custom generators, get in touch, I'd be keen to chat and have a geeze at any resources you might have on the topic.

Cheers for reading,

Sam
