My green house for fish

[severum1]

Still love this project. I have not come back to view the updates in some time so I was glad to see things are still moving along.

I like the idea of that motor from the scooter, but I would second the suggestion on gearing. With the right setup you could get a wind prop to spin very freely and rotate the motor a lot of times to get a great ratio. Basically use the same setup you did for testing on in between you would have a gear box with a gear change inside to make the proper ratio and away you go. You could find out the exact draw you need and set up to gears to achieve that with the minimal work from the wind mill. Very cool...

How is the heating system working?

I have been very busy on weekends and for that reason I haven't done many things.

I found another scooter, of a friend, that he didn't use anymore and give me the motor. It's a little more potent than the one i had. 250W and 14Amperes. Who knows if I do put 2 working and operating. One to a cascade and the other to circulate water at the roof for heating it.

I'm studying, best possible, the gearing system. I must do some tests.

Thank you penman.

I show you everything I do, here in mfk, to serve as inspiration for others to do similar things. Apart from the fact that I learn a lot with you all.
