If I pull my old 1/2 hp swamp cooler motor can I put a windmill blade on it and will it return electricity?
Just curios.

Kevin,

I'm not a technical expert about this kind of thing, but my impression is that no, this would not work (at least not easily).

You can find more information about small turbines on our website at http://www.windustry.org/your-wind-project/home-and-far...-and-farm-scale-wind
