Decent amps from a stepper
is less problem than decent volts.
For what I've done at least.

Let's see, if an approx. "1000 watt genny" is approx. 16 foot diameter, then being very loose with the math and using proportions instead of a fancy formula:

1000 = X * 64 (8 foot radius squared), so our "rule of thumb" proportional constant 'X' comes out to 15.625 (1000 divided by 64).

So very roughly, watts equals 15.625 times the radius squared, or radius equals square root of watts over 15.625.

That suggests that 100 ten watt gennies (our "field of dreams") would be made up of 10 watt gennies that are of approximately...r = square root (10/15.625) = about .8 feet of radius or 1.6 feet of diameter for our 100 little gennies.

Let's see, which is harder...
1 sixteen foot genny
       or
100 1.6 foot gennies (not much different in size from a typical box fan)

With these particular numbers, scaling down our size by a factor of 10 scaled up our quantity by a factor of 100!

I think I would pick one big machine...

Just to say, it's a good solution with a slow wind ...
Put a bicycle hub generator on every genny and all gennys in parallel and you have ten Watts/genny generator with as little as 2mph wind speed ....
Then just a tunecharger (www.tunecharger.com) and you have a very nice, low winspeed yard  generator ....

The floppy motor lights a green LED easy,
not rectified, just accross 2 of the outputs.
Looks like 3 phase star wired.

Real nice bearings, mounted on a steel plate.
Looks like easy fun.
With 3 paint stirs, 6 LEDs, a little expoxy...
Another goofy thing for my neighbors to laugh at!
