Could this power a DC motor?

If the motor is very small and the sun is really bright. The cell puts oot about 0.5 amps at 5 volts in full sun. Measure the DC resistance of the motor. Using ohms law, calculate how many amps would flow at 5 volts. (volts-ampst*resistance). This would be about 10 ohms for steady state operation. If the motor resistance is less than 10 ohms (very likely), then the solar cell voltage(and current) will decrease until ohms law is satisfied for the motor's winding. The motor usually will turn at this reduced voltage, but with a loss of power and torque.

Yes, But it would be one tiny motor. You must stay within the parameters of the power supply.

That depends on your motor. Check if it is a 5 Volts and consumes 5mah or less. If that's the case, Yes it will work.Other thing you can do is to use this cell to charge a battery, then use that battery to operate your motor.

No, the idea for this one is a booster. The output is variable, but I don't think there's much overlap between its acceptable input voltage and its output. From my unit, it certainly couldn't go as low as a 5 v DC output.

Yes, however you will need a 12 volt relay to handle the current to the motor.

According to the instructions it does come with a DC motor. Go to Panasonic's web site and read their product description. I don't know how difficult it would be to remove the circuits that convert 120 volt to DC. I would try a marine supply first to see if you can buy a DC fan that you could wire directly.

Maybe! I had to buy a transformer for home use. Not sure with DC of a boat battery. Good Luck.

I suspect you can use either AC or DC. However if DC is being used then it's polar sensitive. Perhaps it's on the idea of a universal motor which will run on both AC and DC but if DC is connected backwards the motor will run backwards.

1/4 hp is only about 190 W. So, it might be able to power one...but I wouldn't expect you to be able to achieve a very fast speed. 1W = N(m/s). You'd probably want something in the multiple-horsepower range.Also, what the other comments said about it being an AC motor.

HA! Nope.This is a motorcycle battery. You could probably get it to work. You'd need a couple of them to get enough amps to crank the diesel motor.

NO, be certain to use a good DC power supply. I use a 20 Amp supply and it works fine with this supply.

I would certainly think it could. Here are specs taken from Velleman site:Specifications supply voltage: 100 ~ 230V AC ± 15% power: 10W efficiency: > 80% output voltages: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12V DC output current: 800mA (regulated) / 1.5A max. plugs: 2.5mm mono, 3.5mm mono, 1.0x3.0mm, 1.35x3.5mm, 1.7x4.0mm, 2.1x5.0mm, 2.5x5.5mm, 1.5x5.5mm dimensions: 2.6" x 1.1" x 2.9" weight: 3.0 ozRegards,Stan

Elsewhere it states the unit draws 13 amps or about 1500-1600 watts, three time the capacity of your 'converter'. Plus, it this is an electronic converter rather than a real transformer, it won't work with a motor, only a resistance load. So it sounds as if you're out of luck on two counts.

Never tried it, but I am almost certain that you can. Looking at the schematic for the generator, there is a separate winding on the generator for the DC, so I think it operates independently of the AC power output.

I'm sure it can be . seem about anything can be as long as the output is within the DC voltage peramitures .

I doubt it, I suspect your motor may be a capacitor start and a higher than 2.5 amp load, which are specifically not supported.

Probably not. This would charge a battery though, that could be used for a pump or inverter power source.

There are considerations. Note the 1.5A rating. Also when the motor turns off, the stored energy in the motor's inductance needs to go somewheren and there will be an inductive kick... which brings me to "no" because this is not simple. DC or AC application?

While it does use a DC motor (and is super quiet) I don't see anything in the instructions on how to attach it to a DC power supply.
