      Sure as long at the motor is powering a generator which is throwing electricity into something but why bother? What's the sense if you already have electricity to run the motor to power the generator?

        I would tell you, but I'd have to kill you....I have THE invention of the decade witch relates to your question...being an inventor, I can only tell you that you'll see it on the market SOON...I'll give you a hint...(next year!!!lol) But you'd have to buy it to try it...

          Wonderer i think to make a large one you just have to add a fan and create the motor yourself

          Sure. There are plenty of electrically run lawn mowers, snow blowers, and electric motor bikes........all run by electricity .
