Wind turbine step - up regulator

Stepping up the voltage from my treadmill turbine with a switching power supply bought off ebay for £15.I would be interested on opinions here. Is it worth harvesting the power below optimum speed needed for battery charging?. Also this now makes the output more suitable for a standard solar mppt controller which could use any extra voltage if the regulator was set a bit higher.

Clever concept... 15 watts in better then none. Through the night when there's no sun that's simply good maintenance for your battery.

..wow .. amazing wind turbine 😇🤗

Thanks for posting this even if it's over 3 years old it helped me because I have the same issue where I have low volts but high amps and need a way to make use of the power instead of throwing it to the wind

Most treadmill motors will only put out at most under a good wind 7to 9 volts now if u have 2 or 3 of these wired together u will have a good charging system ,treadmill motors are a great tool for generatoring power but it can only go so far ,building 2 or 3 of these as I did will work very well in low winds

Most of these power supplies that do step up the voltage like the one your using do put up a good show ,but don't work to well under a load or hooked to the battery bank.With a treadmill motor the best way is to gear your windmill up to at least 4 to 1 ratio,once this has been done it takes lots more wind to move the turbin blades and get a good charging 13 to 14 volts out of the unit .
one way to double your voltage take 2 windgenerators wire them as u would in parallel 6 volts+6 = 12

You mean series..

sir i saw that you use mppt solar charge controller as wind turbine controller. how about MSW charge controller, can also be use on wind turbine as a charge controller sir? thanks and Godbless
