The DC Motor Analyser Software if available to buy separately for $14.95, but if you decide to buy the Home Wind Turbine E-book, this software will be included totally free of charge.
The DC Motor Analyser software allows you to take any DC permanent magnet motor and analyze how it will function in your homemade windmill application. It also allows for different blade sizes, TSR, gear ratios, wire length, wire gauge, battery bank size, volts, amps and motor rpms.
This takes all the guesswork out of designing your own system. You can even use it to design a double genny system that uses two motors connected via pulleys to a central shaft turned by your blades. This allows you to take two cheap motors, like the treadmill motors and gear them up while also taking the axial thrust off of their cheap little bearings. They can handle the radial thrust, but they’re not very good on something pushing at them such as a windmill blade.
This is version 1.6 and now includes VAWT and HAWT capability. Also added is the abiltiy to save different configurations and efficiency has been added as well.
Watch the video below to see how it works and what information you can gather from it.
