EarthLink Washing Machine Motor Kits

EarthLink is a recycling shop, aimed at saving the planet one person at a time. Pick up a Washing Machine Generator kit which includes all the parts needed to learn and build your very own powerful backyard generator. The best way to learn is doing!
Please be aware of the safety hazards when working around voltages above 25VAC or 50VDC.
The kit includes: (all tested & recycled from worn out Fisher & Paykel washing machines)
- Info Booklet of useful ideas & wiring diagrams (sourced: thebackshed.com)
- SmartDrive Stator (0.6mm 36 pole or 0.6/0.8mm 42 pole)
- SmartDrive Rotor
- 2 x 6005RS Ball Bearings
- 1 x Stainless Steel Shaft
- 1 x Shaft Nut
- 1 x Shaft Threaded Plastic Screw
- 2 x Stator Flange Plates
- 4 x Stator Fixing Screws
- 1 x Plastic Spline Coupling (useful piece to connect shaft for smaller applications)
Proceeds go to EarthLink for supporting their staff, programs and action plans. Thanks!

Damn, I didn't realize just how many motors you had!

[@stefanstoove9254]

I'm working to provide more generator kits available, takes a bit of time to get the bits though, don't worry the desk is now full of them :) Haven't seen any with 1mm wire yet which I believe were the very first, but a lot of 0.8mm to 0.6mm with aluminium and copper 36 or 42 pole motors and some LG direct drive ones.

Do you ship internationally? Any online website or online store?

[@stefanstoove9254]

I will ask, we ship within NZ for about $20, overseas will most likely be no, but I'll check anyway.
This is EarthLinks main website, they typically only sell through TradeMe & in store.

Hi again,
Sorry we are currently unable to ship overseas due to our circumstances.
Thanks

Nice! I'm trying to figure out a 3 blade configuration for my windmill, any suggestions on length?

[@stefanstoove9254]

Around 1m is a good length to start with, all though to reduce start up windspeed, particularly for the cogging effect on the 42 pole stator, might be better to go a little bit longer for more torque at less speed.
Other alternative is to use 5 blades which will be slightly more efficient than 3 blades. More blades = less speed but more torque.
Cheers
