Want to run this in reverse for a wind turbine to generate electricity for school. Can the shaft turn a few rpm easily to spin the motor fast?

Absolutely "NO" this is a "gear motor" The motor speed is reduced by a ratio of maybe about 50:1 (they don't say in the specs) The output torque is multiplied by about this ratio. And going the other way, that is turning the shaft to spin the motor, the torque is reduced by about 50 times. This means you'd need so much force to turn the shaft that you'd strip the gears of tear the shaft off before the motor would turn. This is NOT just a motor, it is a motor with an attached gearbox.

Possibly, but it is pretty difficult to turn in reverse, but can definitely power an led if you manage it, but you will need some strong wind.

Not easily. You have to reverse the process of winding the spring - takes a minute, two hands and two screw rods...

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV

The current draw depends on how fast you want to run the motor. The more current you give it the faster it will run. I have tested this motor from 0-5 amps and it really depends on the speed at which you want the motor to turn.

Hello, I need a motor to move slow. How slow would it rotate on the slowest speed? Thanks

You can spin it manually. The only thing that works on battery power is the drill.

I assume with power plug out of supply out let, then you can rotate wheel easily.If so check power supply specifically voltage and frequency. (You can do this by plugging into a source that powers another motor at correct speed.It is hard to wire a motor to run at wrong speed they typically run on do not run. In any case I do not think you should use it if the speed is not correct. High chance to damage motor and/or the operator.

Minimal resistance honestly. You can turn quick. The power of the motors, however, is up to you, based on strength. Nonetheless, don't let people fool into thinking it's not driftable, it will spin SUPER SUPER fast when it needs to.

Yes but it turns pretty low RPM's so not really a plus or minus. Great torque though and great for mixing thin set, sheetrock mud or about anything.

Yes. You can chose low, medium, or high RPM spin speed. When I set mine on low and tested I noticed most the corn did not go to far and was much quitter.

Yes. the motor is reversible. Reversal of lines 5 and 8 result in direction of motor rotation. Line 5 is the black wire and Line 8 is the red. You can also change it to run on 220 (single phase) from the delivered configuration of 110V.

Yes. Just flip a couple of connectors. Instructions are included with the motor.

Yes it works just fine in reverse. I was driving and removing screws with this in my impact driver. Good luck!

Yes, it should be that easy. It will run on any DC supply. I'm running it directly off of my car's 12v DC through a switch. You can wire it in reverse to blow the opposite direction as well.

Yes you can, but the drawer spins the motor and you have a certain amount of torque to overcome. The electric action is not the fastest in the world but the drawer opens and closes fairly quickly. You can push the close button half way through the open cycle without affecting the motor. It reverses quickly. Sometimes I have a small item to place in the drawer and don't wait until it is fully open.

It should be spinning at Maximum Speed if you give it the right amount of power

Yes and a nice feature of the inverter is you do not have to stop the lathe for reverse. If it is running flip the switch, it will slow to a halt and then start up in the reverse direction. Nice for sanding.
