i have many drills i can use. both battery and mains (uk) powered. what is the best to generate dc power? somewhere around 12v for a few low watt lights and maybe battery charging.
is it as simple as take the two terminals off the motor to a bridge rectifier or is it not that simple?
any help would be appreciated

I have lived on houseboats for 30 years and have messed about with such things... if they work atall they work badly... you dont need the rectifiers for a DC motor just a diode, solar panels or wind power ...
