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.

Yes you will get "SOME" power from it. This motor is a.c. It appears to be only 13 amps. And it has a rpm of 2700. It will need a lot of speed to make any real power. It will make 12 volts at a lower speed but almost no amps.
