09/27/2012 1:27 PM

Is it possible to build a low powered ceilling fan? Is it possible to convert the fan into a generator? If converted, how much power will I get?

You can build anything your heart desires, your skills allow and that do not violate the laws of nature. You can even convert a fan into a generator. However, unless the draft in your room is strong enough to spin the fan without any electric power applied then you cannot produce any electric power with your fan.

In this universe, out put is always less than input. No body can ever change that.

Is this you and your devices?

There are a lot of members here who will be very happy to expose these. I fear you have very little time to thoroughly explain these, otherwise this thread will likely be removed.

Okay, I did. Now what?

What are you asking of us?
Do you need investors? Lots of luck with that.
Do you need peer review? I have a feeling that is coming shortly.

Or, do you need a review of the laws of thermodynamics?

Don't believe these guys. All you have do is install this in the right place in your local government building where high level discussions take place between opposing political parties & run it off the ensuing hot air- oh yeah, you wanted a low power device, not a megawatt generator. Outa luck then.

a dc motor's speed can be regulated with a reostat. it can generate power too, but it's not practical. there's better ways to generate power.

It's done all the time. Don't believe the nay sayers here.

Take a look here:OVERUNITYBUILDER - HOME OF FREE ENERGY KNOWLEDGE

After you have looked over this site, I hope that you will realize that you can only get more energy out of a system that you put in, in your dreams.

Look at perpetual motion. Tesla.
