Thought this is about steppor motors to produce / generate electricity, don’t forget that some regular motors are very efficient at producing electricity also.

If your interested in using a stepper motor for CNC & robotics stuff, here is a premade “driver board” you can run/program from your computers parallel port, for only $25
http://www.stepgenie.com/ There is a nice explanation of how it works there also. Please visit cerebralmeltdown.com for alot of tech type stuff about things like this.

Using a stepper motor to easilly make electricity. Though nowhere near the power of the homemade types with magnets, coils, etc, a stepper mottor will provide enough current to do some things, perhaps charge batteries, or run a LED light.

To get very high rpm, you can hook a large gear (toothed or pulley) at the turbine axis and connect this to the smaller gear of the stepper motor (ie. its axis/shaft). When the large gear spins once, the stepper motor will then spin several times.

The steppor motors shown in the video were from computer printers. A computer scanner (ie. digital photo scanner) also contains a small steppor motor similar to the small steppor motor of the printer.

Here are a few stepper motor/generator links:
