DIY 1000 watt wind turbine

Sspence writes - "We built a 1000 watt wind turbine to help charge the battery bank that powers our offgrid home. It's a permanent magnet alternator, generating 3 phase ac, rectified to dc, and fed to a charge controller. The magnets spin with the wind, the coils are fixed, so no brushes or slip rings necessary." - Link.

Wind Powered Generator - With a motor and some piping, it's suprisingly easy to build this inexpensive, efficient windmill generator. MAKE 05 - Page 90.
