Re: HOW I ROTATE MY WIND GENERATOR WITH AC/DC MOTOR

The general idea is to have the wind turn the generator to produce power.

Or are you looking for a blower / fan to generate a flow of air?

Use a fixed-magnet alternator or a fixed magnet DC motor. An AC or DC motor with stator coil windings will not work as a generator without being excited by an external source.
