The cylinder is insulated.... I'm not sure what else I could do better without really changing things a bunch.
Kind of fun - if you watch the video you notice sometimes the engine slows down/speeds up - that's in response to my batteries being fairly full and my heaters in the shop kicking on and off. When they come on, the voltage drops and the load increases slightly. It's very responsive to that stuff.... I have no doubt that if a good gust of wind came up the engine would speed up a bit. DanB-

You see, to me, this makes perfect sense,
Since, there can be a great deal of feedback measured, thru multiple charging sources to a single battery bank. Both the load and battery-bank are equalized simultaniously.
With the diode bridges, this force/power- can be accepted thru the doide bridges, hence out-ove phase circuits may be harmonized, thru a common DC buss, to a batt-bank.
But this is not the case od harmony with the DC output regulator. Which will almost always 'short its-self out' when detecting anytype of imbalence within a circuit closed within the battery bank.
AGAIN,
it seems to be possible, to get away with such an imbalance of phase cancelling, if all of the, DC charging sources, are derived from a diode bridge, then placed in parallel with the DC circuit, not a regulator(or mosfet).
Seems to me, several wind-turbines connected in parallel thru DC rectifier bridges, to a common [DC]batt-bank are no problem.
Somehow, conflicting frequences(hz) can be mechanically balenced. Generally this type of feedback will burn-up the regulator to the DC output in a small gen-set. But it does not seem to hurt a small farm of wind-turbines, when connected to a common batt-bank.
