Rewire a washing machine motor to generate 12v electricity!

- I bought an old washing machine motor for $20 and am rewiring it to output 12v Eventually it will be used as a renewable energy source. The output is still ac, so a 3 phase rectifier is needed which I made for about $4 to output a DC Voltage. Wiring Diagram thanks to TheBackShed.com they have some great tips!
great job and well done.please next time show wiring before and after on a paper..it will be more helpful for us.Thanks!
Cool build. Now I want to go try this.
Well u did great my washer is still going but after the next time it goes this is what I'm gonna do
Instead of modifying it. Could u just rectify it to dc and send the dc to a solar mppt charge controller that can handle the voltage?
Thats a good idea, I think most models accept any voltage from 0-100volts
Surely be better to leave it AC and use a wind turbine 3 phase controller
It is still 3phase AC just now at a lower voltage and higher amps.
Would mppt charger cope that 3 phases 50v
Great attempt, but what you did is not the same as the wiring diagram you show in this video😬 You made 7x2c not 2x7c ,this lowers the voltage and gains amperage
Yes i was trying to get it closer to 12v AC so i could charge a battery, unmodified it was outputting around 100v
How much Amp do you get the output
Hey mate great videos on the wind driven generator. I have the same 42 pole washing machine motor etc etc stripped and ready to go. I'm a little stuck on the rewiring part tho. I cant follow your explanation of the left side and right side and the blue marks. Is there a web site or some other video I can have a gander at for the few wee bits I'm missing?? Chur
No need to rewire it, just use a transformer to step down the voltage
but its 3 phase so you would need 6 transformers😆
It is quite confusing. there are other videos but i found the voltage almost too low now. It probably works good for water turbine use.
@@KiwiMaker Maybe after rectifying it to DC?
why do we have to re-wire the stator to generate electricity, why don't you just put magnets on the outside of the casing?
Why you need to rewire?what is the difference if you do not rewire?
The output was around 100volts, I needed more like 12v to charge batteries
@@KiwiMaker so it means each group of coil must be in parallel connection?
Could you help me with this personally please ?! Let me know if you can help
yo quiero que genere 120 voltios de AC para poderlo conectar a una bicicleta estatica y mientras hago ejercicio conectarlo a la red electrica para que no me llegue tan caro el recibo. por favor ayuda.
I want it to generate 120 volts of AC to be able to connect it to an exercise bike and while I exercise, connect it to the electrical network so that the receipt does not arrive so expensive. please help.
Good evening, how are you? Question how many enppers are extracted from this generator
how can I get my hands on a $20 motor like that
Super glue on most plastics doesn't work. Was the machine an industrial one? Why 3 phase?
All the AC motors that have magnets already installed are 3 phase so you pretty much have to work with 3 phase and then rectify it.
Did you consider a rectifier?
What washing machine motor came from?
@Kiwi Maker why do we have to re-wire the stator to generate electricity, why don't you just put magnets on the outside of the casing?
you dont have to but it will produce about 200volts and low current, The most useable form of electricity is 12v high current to charge batteries.
@@KiwiMaker ohhh, but how does re-wiring the stator even do that, I just don'r understand that.
@@Dnsx_plus So each coil will make maybe 6volts, so you can add them up like 6+6+6+6=24v or how i have rewired it to be 6+6+6+6= a really powerfull 6v its series vs parallel wiring
@@KiwiMaker ohhhh, thank you so much sir! Where did you learn all this, I've been learning for months now, constantly doing research, I can't find any good resources or subjects that teach DIY generators properly.
@@Dnsx_plus Try Robert Murray-Smith on youtube. A genious of a man, multitalent. Currently making generators from stuff like microwave oven transformers and motors. Take a peek.
Please, is the fixed member on which the coils are made of iron or plastic?
It has an iron core but it is all mounted on the plastic ring
@@KiwiMaker why do we have to re-wire the stator to generate electricity, why don't you just put magnets on the outside of the casing?
what if i use it as a handcrank generator, Do I have to rewire it?
It depends what voltage you need and how fast you spin it, but it is best to rewire it.
@@KiwiMaker why is it best to rewire it. Efficiency ?
Gerard reckons you don't have to rewire it
It’s quite high voltage though. It would depend what voltage batteries you are charging
No follow up to this?
I turned it into a wind turbine but ended up selling it to a guy in a yurt since I dont have any room for it living in the city.
@@KiwiMaker that's too bad, I wanted to see more of this
WHY G THREW ALL THAT WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY< GET A BRIDGE RECTIFIER THAT TURNS 3 PHASE TO DC --- AND THERE YOU GO IN 2 SECONDS
Because it will be around 100 volts dc. you would need to step down the voltage... now I think about it a solar charge controller could do that.
You can use a bridge rectifier to DC ad then step down to what you need for DC.. No need to cut wires. and go threw all that.. JUST SAYING
@@earthssecretenergy2371 Yeah its not necessary to do it today but maybe 10 years ago it was quite difficult Step down DC voltage efficiently.
Hey bro have you done any testing under load?

Ads to persian please thanks a lot
Hi everyone l m razack technician in parakou in benin l went you help to have alternator l went his home please help me
seriously dude? are you crazy? crazy glue is the worst choice, its not strong enough and is very brittle
What would you suggest?
I would suggest superglue with baking soda dusted over top of glue
no such thing as free power
Oh so it is you who is paying for the sunshine ☀️
@@Buzzhumma you have to buy the solar panels and charge controllers cables batteries inverters an so on...to harvest that power
crappy video!
Comments like this are crappy. Please leave constructive criticism, thanks.
@@KiwiMaker ok
