I wouldn’t think that would work too well unless you were on a coastline or by some mountains, where there’s a constant strong breeze you could use to spin the fans almost all the time and fast enough to produce the electricity you’d need to charge a battery. I saw a dude in Australia who used an old motor from a washing machine, with a nigger rigged water wheel on the axel, he then went almost to the top of this hill where a small stream was, and diverted stream water from there through piping down to his trailer, where the water rushed rapidly through his water wheel…that setup reliably powered his entire trailer for about 3 years before the bearings in his motor/alternator finally gave out and had to be replaced.
I'm not trying to make an efficient setup, I'm just trying to make it work for the learning experience at this point. If I can get the electrical rigged right next I'll make some extra large fan blades to modify.
