An old treadmill motor will work. Those motors are permanent magnet types. The shaft on the treadmill motor has a 1/2-13 LH thread and you can tap a jaw coupling to fit on it or a pulley.
Great project ! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I just found a voltage regulator on ebay for $12.99 that maintains 12 volts from 48 volts. They were used in golf carts.
It was on sale for much less not too long ago. I just ordered what's shown below. up to 36V input, 10A fully adjustable regulated output, and you can use it as a regulator, battery charger, or LED driver. Also include an LCD display. The best part of it, you can easily replace components if needed. I paid $11.15 shipped. bit.ly/2fddoQ1
Hi Doug. Outstanding design. And very well explained. Has always I Liked,Shared and added to playlists. Great to see your viewer count is growing. All my best. Bobby
FANTASTIC !!! I subscribed! Now THIS is why I love TH-cam! Oh the things I learn on here, it's just wonderfulVery nice job indeed ! I wonder however, if I had any questions, would they actually be answered?
Hi ENM, Doug, I hope all is good with you. Another very nice build and demo of the generator. You do really nice looking work. Always great explanations of your projects. Be nice to have when the lights go out. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, be good, C.
Hey. This is awesome. Well built. I started one using an old ECM furnace motor. Put a three phase rectifier. Do I need a voltage regulator in order to charge a battery? Thanks
Awesome. What's the equivalent BLDC motor in wattage as this? I see a lot of used brushless motors from stuff like hoverboards with 350W, will it provide the same power?
You can compare the rating of my motor to other DC motors. Brushless 3 phase motors are the most efficient. I have many excellent videos on my channel, so be sure to look over my video playlists for other videos of interest to you, rate thumbs up, and share. Thanks for watching!
Hello, did you ever try it with a bicycle? I was looking to see if I could have something like this generating 7-9 amps an hour (for an hour) for a 12V system, although several people argued the amperage would be very low (maybe 1-2 amps), or requiring excessive amounts of effort that could not be sustained more than 5-10 minutes, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for subscribing!

I would like to replicate this experiment in a much smaller scale. For the moment I would only want to charge a Samsung mobile device, it says that it uses 4.35v 2.6A 9.88 W, what kind of small electrical motor would I need.
Since 15 years, I have been dealing with angular energy electricity generation systems (R&D). My positive designs related to angular energy continue. In this regard, my own financial means are insufficient, I had meetings with many businessmen, they accepted the financing of the project, but they gave up when it came to signing a protocol, that is, when it came to formalisation. If there is an entrepreneur who will walk with me on this path, who is idealistic, has financial means and wants to make an official protocol, I would like to meet.
I know. Solar panels are a part of my setup and also with a generator, alternator charging, etc. Its for VAN LIFE so I need backups. I want a small hand crank charger for the 12 volt system.
please observe this verse it tells the 2 characteristc of what a saint is. Revelation 14:12 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
yes mr. hobby man i will do so. i come from a world of self reliance . i also generate my own power. im in a real world. not hobby based. you have a nice toy. i have been stuck in iraq for months we made so.many ways to prevail. and your machine is one of a kind. but not very practical. thanx for checkin my videos though.
led lights will let it last longer aswell, also you could put a solar panel charge controller aswell :d
Very cool and useful build.....nice find on the motor as well!

Glad you enjoyed it Bobby.
This is amazing
This is not what I was expecting when I seen "homemade crank" 🤣
Good stuff I'll build you a stronger table for the next vid

Some small engines and cars use DC perm mag starter motors which can be made into generators also.

your inspired me to make a generator like yours
Great to hear! Have you seen my bike generator video below?

Please share. Thank you
Does that rectifier regulator gives 14v to charging battery (is it regulate or only bridge rectifier?)
That's like using a Lamborghini as a winter beater car.
That is down right cool. Thank you very much for sharing
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Why don't companies make these? I want one.
love those good will stores. 20 bucks. wow.
immrnoidall It was a great steal. Be sure to check out my "ReStore/Goodwill" video playlist and share. Thanks!
thanks . i will.
Hey. This is awesome. Well built. I started one using an old ECM furnace motor. Put a three phase rectifier. Do I need a voltage regulator in order to charge a battery? Thanks
If you're charging a lead acid battery, and the voltage isn't too high, then you'll be ok.
electronicsNmore cool. Thank you

hi, I tried a PMDC with 100vdc and 1.75hp unfortunately it is only producing 2vdc.. any tips?... thanks
Mid 1990s gm have gear reduction with permanent magnet s.Out board motors also.
How long would it take to fully charge the 12v battery cranking the unit

My unit works great connected to a bike. Thanks for watching!
If one day you are able to check the amperaje Vs effort/time that would be great (maybe an idea for an update video?), great job, thanks
Kind of wish you could have got a gearbox to do ,one to 10or even more, to help with the production of power
The gear box will require a very high level of torque. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with others.
You can run a house off a car alternator elitrick moter, file cell, fuces, belt, battery, belt. Belt tightened pully, solder charger
Use skateboard bearings in your pulleys they're cheap, durable and reduce friction substantially
Not really necessary, The larger pulley rotates very smooth. Thanks for watching
electronicsNmore yea but imagine never having to grease it ever again... (;
M.D. G. If I was using it all the time, on a daily basis, then yes.
very cool project and explanation? and must have as well to be used in the farm??
This has many uses. I'm sure I'll make more changes in time.
What did you use to regulate the voltage great video by the way
Hello Arthur, the DC-DC converter regulates the output. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding work, and new subscriber..

Would this work to power a house if you use a 7kw electric motor?
Maybe a small cottage.
add 10-20 super capacitors will be da bomb
2 more videos right up your alley. :-)

great build, whats the symbol of schottky diode? thanks
It looks very similar to a zener diode.
I meant whats the code number of the diode so I can buy it
Very cool!!
I didn't forget about your project! :-) Hopefully I get to it this week. Most of my supplies are in storage.
No worries. Diggin' the other things you're doing as well.
Thanks for sharing
Okay now take magnets and put them on the handle and some around the diameter of the cranks motions and you created infinite energy
I don't quite get what you mean loss, using a bridge rectifier, when it produces 1.25 volts RMS. That looks like a gain to me as a full wave device.
There's a voltage drop across a diode. Schottky diodes have a much lower voltage loss.
Did yoy do the updated video with the sprocket?
No Joe, I got busy with so many other projects on my channel. Thanks for watching!
I see a laundry list of things that could be upgraded.
Good for you. :-)

Have you seen my other video?
th-cam.com/video/QMdeu9GhTT0/w-d-xo.html
The same. You need to crank for about 6 days to charge your phone.
thanks for video ...
i need this to reduce my fat .. and to power my home ..
You can make my bike generator. :-) Check out the video.
@@electronicsNmore cool ... I will call it "Fat to 110V AC converter" ... ;-)

Nice work!
How much does it weigh?
Not too heavy. Very manageable. I can pick it up with little problem.
I need something like this to charge my 12 volt batteries in my camper van. I want to pay someone for one.
Buy a couple of the 100W solar panels that I show on my channel, along with a charge controller.
I know. Solar panels are a part of my setup and also with a generator, alternator charging, etc. Its for VAN LIFE so I need backups. I want a small hand crank charger for the 12 volt system.
Can I purchase one of these from you?
good job...
Thinthinhtoo 969 Thanks! Be sure to rate thumbs up, check out my extensive video playlists, and share. :-)
Make 2 of them and run on 2 difrent parts of the houes
prejudice that engine from where he got it?
sir can i use treadmill motor?
Yes, just watch the rpm's to keep the voltage from rising up too high. Gear it properly.
"Pocket mobile phone charger"
This is far more than a phone charger. LOL
electronicsNmore hahhahahahahahahaahhahaahahah
That could charge car batteries,yes?
sweet
Wow...
Glad you enjoyed the video! Please share.
DID YOU PATENTED THIS?
No
WHAT HAPPEN IF SOMEONE STILL YOUR IDEA
He will add a carbonation system
please observe this verse it tells the 2 characteristc of what a saint is.
Revelation 14:12
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
this will never be put to real use when shtf . novelty at best.
You need to stick to fishing. LOL
yes mr. hobby man i will do so. i come from a world of self reliance . i also generate my own power. im in a real world. not hobby based. you have a nice toy. i have been stuck in iraq for months we made so.many ways to prevail.
and your machine is one of a kind. but not very practical. thanx for checkin my videos though.
You need to stay in Iraq with that attitude of yours.
electronicsNmore. ok. god bless
Or you could sell that motor and buy a proper hand generator.
"Proper Hand Generator"? How nice TH-cam would be without wise @ss comments.
Seems like a proper hand generator to me!
Gunk yeard and parts my be 400 for free elritrick
That could charge car batteries,yes?
Yes.
