I want to be able to rig a generator that will charge a battery from basically any motor, without using premade capacitors and resistors. problem is I can't find any how to on making the components themselves, or even what common, nongenerator/motor items I could salvage them from. I'd really like to be able to make them from scratch though. I plan on buying a bunch of bits of various metals and alloys to have on hand, just can't figure out what the components of the components are
The "worst case scenario" motor I want to work with is a 1925 leather sewing machine motor
CAT S.A. 930
No. M 198737
HP 1/5
RPM 1725
Volts 110
Cycles 60
Phase 1
Amps 3.8
Its fairly grease caked and has wood pegs holding the coils, and cardboard grease plates, so I'm going to be tearing it completely apart. probably just use the innards and scrap the behemoth cast iron case, but it does have a neat look and cool little spring brake dealt.
I plan on "powering" the generator via a combo set up of wind, bike, and/or steam power.
Any tips, help, or that's impossibles would be appreciated.
Also any direction on how to home craft a "car battery" or larger even, and the inverter to turn that into houseplugs...
pretty much, I wanna be able to make electricity after the apocalyptic CME fries all the electronics we have.
