Thanks Daniel, they are an amazing generator. I can light my LED just turning the pulley on my Blue Thunder slowly with my fingers.
You can do that with any stepper motor of that size, but as Daniel mentions, thereīs loads of difference in their configurations/output.
I have had 3 laying around here for future projects forever, and just last week tested them.
Just one of them would reach 50V while idling as the Blue Thunder, the other two only around 30V at same speed in the mill.
All of them will light LEDs just as easily as the Blue Thunder, but there most likely would be a difference in how many they can handle at the same time.
Thanks Jan, from memory they need be wired to some electronics gizmo don't they?
Can you tell make/model of which one puts out the 50V by anything stamped on it?
Unfortunately is has no tag on it, and canīt even remember where it came from either.
It is not necessary with any electronics, if the sole purpose is to light LEDs.
Just made this little demo, by just twisting a LED onto one of the "inferior" steppers here:

Watched it on YT earlier, thanks Jan.
No problem Jim.
However your wording confuses me slightly, as i uploaded it as "hidden".
Fingers crossed that you saw the link here, and watched the movie there, and didnīt find it on YouTube directly?

Jan, I watched it on YT it came up in my subscription feed, I left you a comment on the vid just after you uploaded it.
Thanks for confirming this!
I did notice the comment, but really didnīt think anything else than youīd watched it at YouTube, after finding the link in here.
Noone without the link should be able to find the movie, according to YouTubeīs own description. A lot of good that does, when they proceed by inserting them in 3rd. party feeds.
