backyard wind generator - Real power from my Backyard Wind Turbine



Tonight we got some pretty serious winds and I hooked up my multimeter to the wind turbine for the first time. Completely unloaded (no batteries hooked up yet) I was pulling 20-55 volts and getting some fairly noticeable "motorey" sounds in addition to the "whooshey" sounds of the blades. This weekend I'll hook up the charge controller and battery.
