Wind Turbine Alternators

Wondering what size alternator you need for your wind power at home?   To determine the size of the alternator you need for your wind power project you need to make sure it matches the size of your prop that you are using.  The problem is that if you get an alternator that is insufficient in size you will be throwing power away or wasting it instead of utilizing it.  But if you get an alternator that is just too big for your job than you risk the chances of your blades not even being able to turn unless the wind is blowing very strong.  There will be too much friction for the prop to turn if the alternator is too big in proportion to the prop.  Most alternators do have an RPM rating that will be helpful in choosing the right one for your wind turbine too.  Check out some of the alternators below and find a great deal for your wind turbine for the home.
