Is it possible to generate electricity from these 2 motors?

Hi there, i found some old Motors in my barn and im not sure for what they have been used for. I was wondering if it was possible to generate electricty that i can store in some energy storages (which i will buy if worth it) they both have an written text on it that says 230v 50hz idk if this matters.

Here is a picture. I would like to know if its worth it to start tinkering with it or just throw em away.

Ps* sorry if it is placed in the wrong forum section.
Ps2* Sorry for my bad english. Its not my main language

The one on the right is a shaded pole motor. The one on the left is an incomplete motor.

Newton laws of physics means it will cost you more to generate the energy than you get back from storing it it in batteries etc .... ps forget the whole concept unless you can power the motors with a free resource like a water wheel.

Looking at it they are both incomplete

Aww to bad that this isnt gonna work haha. Is it worth taking the copper off and maybe use it for other DIY projects in the future? Anything else thats worth salvaging?
