A lot depends on the turbine itself. voltage and current expected are critical bits of information for this.
For a common home built here you will need a bridge rectifier probably a couple. These are prewired diodes to full wave rectify the AC into DC.
I think we will need more information on your plan.
I like to size them rated at at least 2X expected voltage and current.

Could you help me out leting me know what kind of bridge rectifiers do I need to purchase for this particular model.
Thank you.

These are the diodes I am using, there are no electronic suppliers here that I can find, these where bought from an auto parts store, theyre supposed to be 35a diodes, I then mounted them to a cpu heat sink (2 per sink 1/2 inch hole for each diode)...can anyone tell me more about them? (the guys at the counter didn't have any other info)
Thx
