Can we use 2 phase stepper motors to generate electricity with wind power?

The answer yes & NO.

Yes it is a PMA permanent magnet alternator

NO because of its construction with the metal in between the coils that helps to step make it good for elec. control it is not efficient to make electricity and special it takes more energy to start up.

Next to that its bearings are not up to the task to support the forces from wind power.

I am trying to find an engineer to work on my US patented design for a special kind of wind powered electrical generator. Any ideas?
