My father gave me his used treadmill before he died. I had been reading that the motor could be used in a DIY wind generator project. After taking the motor out, I planned to junk the frame and other components, but I discovered there was more to be made from treadmill parts than just a wind generator!
- The motor is for the wind generator.
- The two steel rods for the tread are my basis for a new telescope mount.
- The handrails will have steps added to them to make a small ladder down to the water by my cabin.
The best part: It was totally free.
