This wind generator has the ability to generate up to 20 amps for the purpose of recharging my battery banks. The amount of charge is exponentially proportional to the wind velocity. If the wind speed doubles the amount of charge goes up by a factor of 6. I'll be adding 270 watts of solar power in the summer of 2010. Between the two sources of power, I should be able to be energy independent. The ability to spend weeks on end away from any source of commercial power will be very important when my wife and I circumnavigate Lake Superior during the summer of 2011.
