Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hello,

Your idea is very interesting, I would imagine that you may see a few volts for a short time from your contraption, If it does not have too much gear resistance to get started that is.
I would try to rotate the drill with another drill and see what kind of restrictive rotational forces are at work in a cordless drill, some have brake and shaft lock devices, I am not sure about yours.

Also the bushings and gears are mostly plastic and will most likely fail in a very strong wind.

On the bright side, at least your trying and that is commendable. If at first you dont succeed , try, try again
