Recycling at it's best !

 

Will they Power a Electric Dryer ?  I'm on the treadmill everyday. Looks like I should retrofit the TM and get one of those.

they are a great motor to turn into a generator.

They are also used by Ecoinnovation in New Zealand to make wind generators and hydro power generators.

LG direct drive

the motor seen in a repair thread of an LG direct drive front load looked suitable
for use as a low rpm generator too :)
