Hello
Here is the run down of what I want to do. I had done a lot of research in the internet about this and feel confident enough to do it but still have some questions that I can't get any answers to it. I want to create a windmil (turbine)l using a treadmill motor don't know which one to get yet but still looking. Anyway I want to get some blades and basically do a windmill (tubine) after that I want to get some batteries for the windmill to charge. I know I need to have a charge controller which I have found many in eBay but can't determine which one to get (if someone could direct me to this) now I want to get a power inverter to convert the dc to ac of course. I found one in eBay to that its rated at 8,000 watt continus and peak of 16,000 watt. The reason I want to get this is to run my 2 window a/c units (or at least 1), 1 of them is rated at 1400 watts which is a 15,000 BTU the other one is rated at 1200 watt with 10,000 BTU. I built my own home so I ran a breaker for just the a/c nothing else is connected. I plan to get a small breaker box and have that breaker moved to the small one and connect it to a power inverter. I don't know if it would work but what I figured is that if I have enough batteries , the power inverter rated high and also the proper charge controller it should work. (RIGHT) *basically I have found everything in ebay*
Now I have done research on buying just the windmill and have it installed but its too much money looking at $15,000 dollars and by me doing this its only about $200 dollars big differents.
I have also read in the internet about people doing them and working for them also seen videos about it to.
Hopefully there's someone that could help me on this and point me to the right direction. Please be specific enough when writing back.
Thank you very much.
