Using the 175 alternator for 110 power

It just so happens that the Seagull 175 alternator if turned by
an engine at 600 rpm will put out a nice sine wave, 110 volts
and 60 hz. Or 220 volts at 60 hz. Or two AC lines of 110 volts
60 hz in synch. At 10 amps this would be a kw of power and
require about 1.5 hp input.
A wind turbine isn't going to turn at a constant 600 rpm but
some other means of controlling speed at 600 rpm would work. If
you plugged in a radio or blender, or light it would put a load
on the alternator and speed would need to be kept at 600 rpm.
No load and it will just free spin like a flywheel.
This would be perfect for hydro.

hmmm this seems to be a high voltage for the number of turns.
From the US-VAWT page I cannot seem to get it near those
voltages ! ....Strange.

Voltage is linear with rpm and so is hz. At 60 rpm hz is 6 and
voltage peaks are about 10.7
Multiply those by 10 (at 600 rpm) So the hz will be 60 and the
peak to peak voltage will be about 110.
For fun I used the 175 alt and the boost and the 24 volt
connections. A moderate turn lights a 6 watt LED nicely. Very
little effort to make that much light.

24v is more efficient i agree with lynx..as is 220v
