Powering 110 volt devices with the Gull 160

I have wanted to show this for some time. I am not sure what to
call it. Sort of co-generation or a Hybrid wind power.
By running the AC leg of the alternator output through a
transformer before the rectifier we can step up the low voltage
AC to @ 120 volts. The reason is, we clamp the voltage to
either 12 volts or 24 volts with the battery bank. The
transformer has two settings. So if we are charging 24 volts we
can get 120 volts by using the center tap, or with 12 volts we
can choose the outer tap.
Normally these transformers are used to step down voltage from
120 vac to 12 or 6 volts. We are going to use the transformer
as a step up device.
The circuit only outputs 120 volts when the battery is charging,
otherwise the turbine is just free spinning below the battery
voltage threshold. The AC can only complete the circuit when
the battery is taking a charge.
It may be possible with the 12 volt battery to run some low
wattage AC appliances because the frequency is close to 60 hz.

Hey, cool.
is this how it's wired?

Yes, that's how it's wired. I was in a hurry and didn't do a
schematic. Thanks, because I know someone will ask.
I know you guys like to be creative. So look at this and study
up on DC controlled magnetic amplifiers. Go to
www.sparkbangbuzz.com A little tiny bit of DC can control a lot
of AC power.

Yeah. I had to work on magnetic amplifiers and amplidine
generators in the Navy . They are used a lot for powering the
movement of the gun mounts. Fun stuff, been around a long time
like the blocking oscillator. And now we are finding new uses
for old stuff, including old stuff like me.
;D

i wired this up to my diy25 and it works. gets bright then dim
with the wind speed. COOL.

Yesterday I had four bulbs bright all day while charging 24
volts. That wind was unbelievable.
I am glad you tried this.

I'm getting about 80% of the wind we had yesterday , today.
Great for testing things out. Don't get chances like this very
often over here.
