I would like to know if a ceiling fan (the blades on a hub, not the
motor) can be used in a wind turbine type generator as the prime
mover.
I am fully aware that the generating head would have to be something
else than the original motor on a ceiling fan. What I would like to
know if the fan itself would spin in a wind, if it has the right
geometry.
The reason for my question is idle for now, but when my son grows up,
it would be a fun project if it could be done with existing parts.
Also, are the blades on these fans able to withstand weather.
