Hi guys,
So i am currently working on a vertical axis wind turbine but faving a minor issue. The turbine rotates due to the wind force applied on its blades. So my question is how can you limit the speed of an already rotating shaft using a DC motor? My thoughts are to have the motor mounted to the shaft directly, then set a voltage to be supplied to the DC motor which in theory makes the motor supply a certain torque, and that would reduce the speed of the turbine. Is this analogy correct?
Thank you guys in advance.
