I have a D.C. motor that spins just fine when I apply 12V to it. The
motor has a 1/4" shaft and I would like to use it as a generator.
When I hook up a DC voltmeter to the leads and spin the shaft in the
same direction with my electric drill (around 1000 RPM) the most I
see out of the motor is only .24 volts. I am puzzled why I am not
seeing close to 12V output on this motor. Can only certain kinds of
DC motors be used as generators? Is it caused by the way the coils
are wired up internally and is there a way to test or change this so
that it can be made into a generator? Thank you.
