I stumbled accross what appears to be a 3-blade microlite aircraft
propellor, and have ideas of using this in the construction of a small wind
turbine for charging a 12v battery. I'm looking for a suitable motor to use
as the generator/dynamo. From what I've gleaned, I gather a 240v DC motor
would be most suitable.

I have a Clarke submersible water pump (model CSE1A) which I could butcher,
but is the motor AC or DC? Nothing in the specs tells me. Here is a manual:

I suspect it may be an AC motor, since it is only required to run at a
fixed speed...

If so, which common domstic appliances do contain 240v DC motors?

Many thanks,

Al
