I have a motor and am using it to generate power with a small home built wind turbine — can I use planetary gears to increase the power and is there a limit to what gear ratio I can use?
Sorry – better explained, I want to increase the revs/min of the motor for a given angular speed of the blades, compared to having a 1:1 ratio without a gearbox. I know torque will decrease but I’m more interested in getting the motor turning, so greater speed.
Hope this makes more sense, and thank you for the help!
