Some are converting the ceiling fan motor to wind generator.
I previously brought a couple of them home from the dump, neither were permanent
magnet motors, magnets are part of the modifications. One I brought home this afternoon of you turn the shaft you can feel it cogging,so I know its a permanent magnet motor and will need very few mods.
Don;t let the brass fool ya, it's only anodized over cheap metal, probably non magnetic but the weight of those parts would be a dead give away.
