Sinusoid are sine waves. You would need an inverter to go from the DC of the battery to AC but most inverters do not produce a true sine wave. A regular house fan is mostly likely an AC motor; all mine are. You could maybe use a fan motor off your PC which is a DC motor.

The wheel chair motors are mostly likely DC so they could be usable.

Wikipedia has good info on AC and DC
