You're going to want to look for a DC motor that has
- a permanent magnet (most do)
- Low RPM
- High Voltage
- High Current
Basically, you want to produce the most possible power at the lowest rpm possible. If you can find a motor at around 400 RPM that takes 30V, that's pretty darn good.
Thanks, I'll check out ebay or something. Any other places I should look?

Hi All,
What is the best motor to use when building a windmill? Should I choose one with low RPM and high voltage? Or the opposite? Specifically I'm looking for model #s or something like that.
I'd be interested to find this out too.
