Fantastic comment, I have the unique ability to look back at my life only 1 week ago and reckon My Dog what a dipship I was back then. So looking back at this two years ago. . . yes I was being very vague. my point was more that you can power many types of appliances not so much the quantity. for a better estimate imagine a parabolic curve relating power out to wind speed with one point of 1.7kW at about 40 mph windspeed. not sure on any other points.

Wind power, if one is able to harness on a large scale, is the new wave. Your conversion from wind power to useable energy, could very well be your meal ticket for life.

Thanks for telling me about that high voltage myth… I’ve never heard that before!

excellent terrible power?! …
excellent terrible power?! you mean ac dc? or jesus vs satan style terrible excellent O_o all electricity is terrible if you touch it, yet high voltage is a misinterpreted myth, its ampage you should worry about.

seriously, terrible power?

You don’t need a charge controller for the wind turbine?

Poor Batterys … …
Poor Batterys … You should really use a charging controller . Lead Acid Batteries really dont like too high charging voltages (and to high charging current) .. this will kill the battery very quick. and since excellent controllers are switch mode devices they can also use very low voltages coming from the generator to make a usable charging voltage for the batterys, even if the output of the generator is lower then the needed voltage. you pollute too if you have to buy a new battery every 2 month.
