I've just disconnected the batt from the turbine and it sped up going all the way to the 70 v mark and and climbing  when i reconnected the batt there was a frightening  spark and the amp meter shot up over 10 amps  before returning to 4 amps the batt are connected in series to make 24 v.   To me this turbine is making power, maybe i'm not using it wisely

I have had a quick look at your figures and I suspect your cut in is below the 110 rpm that you quote. If you can find enough batteries it would be interesting to try 36v and even 48v to find out where it matches best. You would then have a far better idea where you are aiming for.

You have already doubled the power from 4A at 12v to 4A at 24v. I am sure you are still stalled.
