I am making a small wind turbine using a generator to charge a battery.
I have chosen a generator in relation to the battery and ultimate output requirements of the LEDs.
However - I need to determine the amount of power I need to put generate for the system to work effectively.
The generator is rated at 10W. However I understand that due to Torque... To actually achieve this, the turbine design (and wind speeds) will need to produce more Watts than this.
But just how much is what I struggling with - is there a formula to use?
Theoretically achieving an RPM of 2800 and there is a constant wind speed of 15 m/s.
Many thanks :)
