How to rewire an old washing machine motor to generate free power

See my latest hydro generator build / Full installation here - • Free power from water
A detailed step by step guide showing the entire process of rewiring the kelvinator F&P (kelvinator) smartdrive washing machine motor stator to produce free electricity for off-the-grid living. Suitable for most 12 - 30 volt applications. Once rewired, all you need is a way to spin the motor to produce enough power to run the average energy efficient home or supplement a solar powered home. Attach it to a windmill, hydro turbine, water wheel, biogas engine or even a bicycle. The power from the motor will charge a battery bank connected to a 120v or 240v dc-ac inverter to run ordinary household appliances, lights, heating etc. Follow this link to see how to make a water powered generator using this motor • Free power- How to con... This has been powering my house for over 2 years & is still running as strong as the day I built it.

Tip from an long time certified solderer - always run the iron across a wet sponge to remove excess (it has lost its flux and is now more of a drossy burden when using with flux cored solder), next _always_ heat the work first, before touching the solder to it or you burn the flux up too fast and it can lead to connection stability problems. Then introduce solder to the work, not the iron - it should flow freely like a tight skin hugging the metal (the sign of a good melt) and cool shiny (which is a good join, as opposed to dull which is a cold solder joint). This should all happen quickly so as not to overheat the work and once the solder sticks don't linger with their on or you lose the antioxidizing effects of the flux. If you get a situation where the solder is heading but not sticking either apply flux paste sparingly or flood the area with solder to coax new flux on to it then tap the area quickly to remove excess (if it didn't drop off on its own) or sponge it off immediately after removing the iron (you just want to get rid of the excess solder without lingering. Lingering oxidizes the underlying metal and solder starts to flip as it contains dross now and nothing wants to stick. I've personally taken to just sticking a q-tip in paste flux (I prefer rosin as it is only acidic when hot and won't degrade wire when below soldering temps) and dab everything for jobs this size and larger (size as in wire that's this heavy). Anyway, nice job - I know nothing about these alternators and am trying to learn. This was very helpful, thanks!d

[@chips4289]

yeah I liked his video myself, but the soldering needed some work...My brother is a great solderer and was amazed when he saw me solder...its because i am a welder mig,tig,stick, brazing fusing metal is my job lol I once soldered a tank back on a radiator and it looked like it was formed and not soldered

[@amando96]

I guess soldering since age 9 made me assume this was common knowledge!

[@HenryLoenwind]

"Then introduce solder to the work, not the iron" yes, but. This is also the right moment to put a little(!) bit of solder to the iron so it will make a solid thermal connection to the work. Just lightly touching the iron's tip while moving the solder to the work works fine. Another thing to watch is that you want the work to wick up the solder, not press a blob of solder onto it. When working on clean electronics with a low thermal mass and a good iron, one can do this directly from the tip, but one needs to keep in mind that this is a special case, not the norm.

[@jimharmon3655]

can you do this with any other brands of washing machines

[@arnaud1050]

hi ! Love the concept and everything. If you want your tin to stick to the copper. You have to clean it up with a chemical product (plumber product) 1 apply product on the area. 2 Heat it up 3 remove heat source 4 apply tin. That's how a plumber do, by the book. About that there is 2 types (or more) tin. take the one without lead. That's the one allowed in drinkable water. You might end up in trouble if you don't. lead path : tin => water => fish => humans => hospital Just thinking to this. An old plumber I had as a teacher told me that water looses speed when it turns. Even into a pipe. Therefore you might have a better output because you have two 90° angles. (if I remember correctly) Once again I'm just triing to help.

[@graemecooper3653]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I don't know much about electricity but after watching this 3 times and reading some of the comments I am considering having a go - but using wind to turn the stater. I followed up and watched the other video regarding the water wheel and inverter and such. Wish I could get my hands on all the other stuff for free so I could go ahead with the build. Cheers.

Instead of rewiring. Can the dc current be sent to a solar mppt charge controller to regulate the voltage and charge a 48v battery instead or one of the new portable solar generators in the market?

Free power does not mean perpetual motion or zero point energy. Free power can be achieved if you convert motive force (wind, water, etc.) into electrical energy.

[@templebrown7179]

If your soldering with a tip with enough thermal mass and the soldering iron is over 30W, it should burn right through the enamel. I solder magnet wire all the time without removing the enamel first. The issues he's running into in the video is his tip has practically no thermal mass; his solder seems to have too low of a flux ratio; and he is feeding the solder onto the iron, not the wires, which is burning off most of what little flux there is before it can help mate the solder to the copper.

[@georgeloyie7456]

Excellent use of an old washer, bravo man! Like Frank Resists says about soldering. Heat the wires then put the solder to it, gives you a superior connection that won't fail and looks terrific, it'll make your connections look totally pro.

Should of read some of the comments ops :), how many amps would you lose and you could easily build a circuit to bring down the voltage but the key is obviously amps, can have a 1000 volts and 1 amp, not much use, so would be interesting to know what the maths would be for rpm's to amps if not rewired. Also, would you need a magnet over each coil? and yes im a newbie but not an idiot...

thanks black ice however i know about that. besides i have over 30 yrs in electronics and have some idears thats tested true. theory isent any thing unless one can build test all phases and i do as far as inverters theres mod sine ,and pure sine. 48 volt ones will use less current due to volts being twice 12 volt ones will use twice the current and not all company ratings are truth .also the type of loads powerd will effect it . induction, transistor, non induction, low ,medium, or ,high. thks.

[@jacobcombs1106]

If you are willing to spend on the extra components a dc/dc converter can be used to charge your battery. Set it up just like any commercial/industrial UPS system your low voltage AC (400v is low voltage) through a rectifier block, DC/DC converter block converts that DC to your charging DC for your battery bank, and out through the inverter block and through a capacitor bank that brings your power factor back closer to 1 and further cleans up your output. RVs already have pretty much all the power conversion components you need. Then you don't need to give up so much of the power this generates and you don't have to spend all that time rewiring it. More than one way to skin a cat, it all depend on you and the cat which one is right for you.

Very good proposal! Also this way power loss in cables can be minized if batteries are some distance apart from the generator.

[@AngryRambro]

calholli The reason for rewiring is to raise the amps & reduce voltage to make it more suitable for charging a battery bank. Before rewiring the stator produces 400+ volts. I use the stator on my hydro generator - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZprId41_aZJpgZo

[@handstogether4you700]

A bit of physics please. If using wind power, does the voltage or current increase with rotational speed?? In a low wind area and commercial wind power generators need high speed.

[@robgad2271]

It looks like there is a bit of insanity here, the original DC motor windings and power scheme required three contacts. What we want is to turn this simple brushless motor into a DC generator with two contacts, one positive and one negative. This wiring scheme leaves 1/3 of the poles connected to the third lug that is unused. Seems like something is missing in this theory.Each pole coil should attach to the next coil past it's neighboring coil, in turn around the circuit making only two circuits instead of three for the attachment points.

It is 3 phase AC output not DC, output is fed via 3 wires into a 3 phase rectifier which converts it to DC

the original unmodified 400v output once rectified could possibly replace the panels in connecting to a grid connect inverter. for people with a grid connection and not much sunshine. has anyone tried this idea?

Very helpful of you to show how to rewire. Thanks very much for your effort. I am sure others feel the same way.

Hello again, can You tell me how much Ampers produces your generator ? For example in 500 rpm ? Thanks

[@AngryRambro]

Vratislav Hrubý At 1000rpm I can squeeze 35 amps at 24 vots out of it, 500 rpm would be less than that, maybe 15 amps

[@Sanangito]

Ou It´s realy strong . With this power I have electricity for all my village :) I have to try it

[@codybrown9998]

so each one of theses create how many watts and at what RPM?

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

That depends how much water you want to use, and at what pressure, and how fast you want to risk spinning the turbine. See Marty T's latest vids doing this again...with sound. also www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/FPRewire.asp

Do people really fall for this stuff? Are the laws of thermodynamics not taught in school anymore?

[@mauro659]

Salve, sto lavorando al suo stesso progetto, non sono molto addentrato in questo campo, le volevo chiedere : devo usare un raddrizzatore? e che tipo di regolatore di carica usare per controllare la carica delle batterie senza avere sopraccarico di tensione? Grazie.

[@RRaucina]

Samsung front loaders often have a nice motor like this in them. Since the rest of the machine is junk, you can find them free.

Woudn't be better to do phase 1 then 3 and then 2? So the 1 and 3 would be better separated and then last 2 would be easy to isolate from the 3 because it's on the top?
