I was wondering what prevents the battier's from over charging? wouldn't you want to run a 12-14vdc regulator with some filter caps to charge the battier's? also did you run a iron core in your coils?

What is the capacity factor of your turbine?

Sorry, replies seem to be posted on top. Anyway, KUDOZ for this turbine. 1Kw? That's.... impressive. Just one quick question: Is it safe to have your batteries in your living space (your bedroom)? I thought fumes can release when charging/discharging from batteries and you shouldn't be around them all the time. Urban myth? Really interested in an answer

no it isnt

Respect!! 1) Is it not productive to use an off-the-shelf electrical motor (ie R/C car motor)? 2) I was thinking about using pressure differences + venturi tubes(when you open two windows on the opposite sides of the house => wind current) for an in-house wind generator. Any advice? Keep up the good work!!

Not at all, you will ruin your batteries if you just use a rectifier as I did, lesson learned for me

coopkabob (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

is the rectifier the same as a charge contoller?
