I have a windblue DC-500 Motor Driven Permanent Magnet Alternator, it produces both AC and DC output. I was wondering if i could use it as a wind generator. It produces 24VDC at approx. 2500RPM and the current at that reading is about 125amps. I know the volts-rpm ratio is not suited for a wind turbine application because when you work out the calculation it produces 1VDC at approx. 104RPM, but i was just looking at the amount of amps it generated and i was thinking to myself saying what if you connected it to a step up transformer and step up the voltage very high so that when it reach approx. 180-200 RPM you get at least 18VDC going to a 12VDC battery would it really work? Is this possible? I know you would have a decrease in amps but would it be a fairly good amount of amps generated at 200RPM going into the battery after stepping up the voltage? giving that the current rating for this motor is very high.
I know i would have to use the AC output on the generator to step up the voltage then run it through the rectifier to get back dc voltage going to the battery.
Please give me your feedback on my theory.
