alright, I'm goofin around a little bit, but I have a serious question, if I may?
I'm making a little generator out of an electric motor which has a fan blade attached to the shaft of the motor. Basically, I just want to make a little wind generator to power a device that lights an LED when the air conditioning unit is on.
I have a circuit in mind, but I wanted to ask a question about the type of DC electricity that the generator will be creating. I know that a generator will create a certain type of DC electricity, but I don't know what type this is, and if I need any specific type of circuit to convert this into regular DC electricity.
Basically, I just want to hook the generator up to an LED (with a resistor if necessary). I'm not sure what kind of RPM's I need to create a specific voltage / amperage but I'll figure that out.
Does anyone know about the kind of DC electricity an electric motor will generate?
Thanks a bunch!
