I think it might be a little more difficult than that with varying wind speed. Wouldn't they have an effect on voltage output? You would need a decent buck/boost regulator I think.
Difficult? Are you serious? You can even hand crank them. There is a built in voltage regulator. The current is limited by the speed it turns. Try it some time. Try and hold on to it when you turn the rotor by hand.
I power my cabin with one. Rigged up a water wheel in a creek. I use firewood and heating oil (kerosene) for heat as required. Have a TV that runs on 12 Volts. Works a treat! Have fun!!!
Badass! Do you just use a 12v to 110v a/c inverter?
If you buy a junk Toyota Prius, the high voltage battery actually supplies 100A at 14v to the low voltage battery in the back. You can hook up an inverter to the back and basically have the quietest 1200w generator around. It only kicks on the car to top off the high voltage battery intermittently.

If it keeps its voltage under a wide range of RPM, that's cool. I've never experimented with them. I'll have to look into it.
