I just need to verify my information, so if you know what you're talking about, I'd appreciate your feedback. I'm mounting the blades onto a permananent-magnet Baldor motor scavenged from an old treadmill. The wires from the motor will run to a set of deep-cycle batteries and keep them charged. The wires from the batteries run to an automotive inverter to change the 12V DC power into 110 household electric, and from there into my shop where I can power my tools. First, is that all correct? And second, I'm told I need a diode in there somewhere so that the batteries don't run the motor instead of the other way around. How does one wire a diode, and what kind of diode do I need?
