Don't forget that you will also need an invertor to convert from 12/24v DC
to 240v AC.  Keith posted a URL (can't find it on eGroups 'cos the search
is
crap) a few weeks ago.  I think you will need a larger 'turbine' - you'll
need something in the order of 0.5kW to start being any use I would guess.
