I am setting up a 500w 12v genny. Once it is set up I will be experimenting with different types of regulation. I am very much intrigued by the airx-x electronic shutdown, but every post that mentions shorts describes mechanical jolt and probable burnout. I propose using one or more 100w resistors (cheap and small) added to the circuit in quick succession to slow the turbine (maybe to stall) prior to shorting. I figure shorting once we are slow and stalled should be acceptable on a small machine. Any feedback, thoughts on the feasibility of this concept would be most appreciated.
