could you design the turbine just as a dump load and create as much heat as possible,.....seems alot of effort goes to fighting heat , why not just go for straight heat?
I said "Watts are directly convertable to BTUs."?
Heat and watts are the same.
"create as much heat as possible".
That means create as much power as possible.
Which means create as many watts as possible.
That is the whole point of everything.
"seems alot of effort goes to fighting heat"
No.
A lot of effort goes into fighting wasted watts being wasted and disapated in the wrong place, such as wated power in the stator in the form of I^2R.
"could you design the turbine just as a dump load ".
No. It would make no power compared to what it would make as a battery charging turbine.
I think you mean 'could you design the turbine to ONLY power a dump load'.
Yes.
The problem is the controller. It needs to be a high voltage dynamic smart MPPT to match the load power with the available power. That sounds simple enough. It is anything but simple.
"if the stator was encased in water would the water get hot??"
Of course.
If something using watts is put in water, the heat from whatever is using watts goes into the water.
When the water (in liquid form away from the freezing and boiling points at that pressure to mostly avoid complications from Dalton's Laws) and stator reach equilibrium temperatuters, a watt hour disapated in the stator will travel to the water as 3.41214 BTU/H.
I do not believe you are following the basic math...
1 btu = 1055.05585 joules
1 joule/second = 1W
1 Newton = 1 Joule/Meter
746W = 1HP
1 BTU = 251.5 calories
1 BTU = 780 foot-pound-force
Just like Ohm's Law, you can not argue with it. It is what it is.
Just like Ohm's Law, if your measurements or calculations do not come out the same, you did not do it right.
