[QUOTE="stephan2307, post: 402064, member: 26785"] Hi, I always wanted to learn and experiment with generating electricity ( I am a total newbie at this sort of thing ). So when my tumble dryer broke, I took out the motor before I took it to the tip. First thing I noticed was that the motor has 3 cables instead of the 2 for DC that I thought it would have. So I googled this and couldn't find anything specific on tumble dryer motors only on general motors and that I would need to build a rectifier. So my question do I need to build a rectifier and if so how do I know what parts I will need to use? Also I am pretty aware that if it is possible to generate electricity with this motor it probably isn't very efficient. Like I said I am only using this to learn and experiment. Grateful for any help. PS. If it helps my dryer was a BEKO DCU-8230 [/QUOTE]
