I have an AC treadmill motor 115volt 18AMPS and want to use for a Wind generator, There are 3 wires connected to the motor and another grounded to the body of the treadmill. If i connect a rectifier, pls will it work??? THANKS!!
No. The motor does not contain magnets with which to generate current through rotating the shaft. However, if you don't believe that you can always experiment. Put a voltmeter on a a pair of wires and spin the shaft. It always fascinates me that many of you don't just experiment. You just as easily try it instead of asking others to tell you if it will work. You can learn a lot by experimenting, taking things apart, playing with them.
