A brushless motor can be reversed as a brusshless alternator.A miniature version of which is the capstan drive of an old VHS locate the 3 end wires of the stator coil this will be your 3phase output and solder 3 christmas bulbs in series and then solder each joint to each end wires .drive this motor with an electric drill..the bulbs should all light equally.now you have a micro alternator..drive it with wind?maybe..

The ultimate best place for alternate energy projects and stuff is www.otherpower.com. car alternators are a horrible solution for wind power.

our science teacher lived on a farm when she was young, it was too far in the middle of nowhere to run power lines, so they had a windmill that would run all day and recharg a battery for the lights at nite. you could try doing a search on google for this. try ebay for the generator.
I would guess that a fairly large reduction in gears would be needed

My first suggestion is to search Google and find out what's available. There are many people who have done this before.
My second is to try a car alternator. It will be inefficient, but it will certainly work.
