The use of motors as generators is now well proven and promises to be an important element in establishing self-sustaining local capacity for village-scale hydro in developing countries. Micro-hydro is a valuable source of energy for rural industries and village electrification schemes. It offers potential to remote communities with applications in village lighting, mechanized food processing, and the supply of power to small-scale industrial activities. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 It's just like the title...Sep 05, 2010

I bought this book to assist me in converting a 3 phase motor (generator) to single phase output power for my wind turbine cogen system. It covers the C2C method pretty well but as in most tech books could use a few more examples.

 Sturdy piece of workOct 28, 2008

"Bones"
The material was both a little more technical than I expected, while at the same time did not give the level of specificity regarding resources I was hoping for. Best I have seen if you are ready to dig deeper than the basics on this obscure area of knowledge, I will definately have a copy in my back pocket when I go looking for a motor/generator.
