What can you do with an old cordless drill? Turn it into a DC generator.

  • Here I have two cordless drills that don't have batteries. You can connect the two drills together so that when you turn one, the other turns.

    A lot of comments here seem to be completely missing the point. This is the foundation for an idea, not the end goal. Connect the drill to a water wheel or wind turbine or something else that produces rotary torque and use that to charge batteries. You can get a cheap drill for like $20 at walmart or something, or find used ones online that people are trying to get rid of. A motor and a generator are mechanically the exact same machine, converting rotational energy and electrical energy back and forth.

    Thanks this is just what I needed. Btw it would be cool if you put regenerative braking in the tags!

    What will happen if you flip the planetary gears around to step up the speed of the motor?

      It will be very hard to turn and if you did make it turn.... rip motor

    Take the motor out of the drill before you install it on your windmill. 86 that clutch assembly its not geared right.

    Wouldn't the drill in theory, eventually charge its own battery????

      You would need to modify it, because with pressed button it would use battery charge

    So you chuck one cordless drill to the dead drill, then connect the dead drill to another drill. Then you run the first drill that turns the dead drill that powers the third drill. And you drill a hole. Whew that was toooo easy.

    I thought of an idea where an electric car can have almost unlimited mileage. Simple...on paper at least. Have 2 battery banks. Switch between the 2. Run one, charge one. When I e gets low, switch them and charge the other one.
