          This is nothing short of freaking awesome. I had thoughts of building something similar to charge batteries using wind, but this is better...

              OK.....located a 10" x 4" x 1/4" piece of rectangle tube steel.....

              I found a old 200amp altenator from a Freightliner....for mock up purposes....

              Found a old Craftsman 5.9 HP mower that the motor still runs.....
