Hi All,..I was searching and haven't found any postes about just using the AC directly from the genny,...some sort of device to calm down the AC it's putting out. Since the AC out fluxuates (wild AC),.... you can't use it ....as direct feed that is.......rectify, store in battery(s) ,and change it back to usable AC.........I think I got it right....
Maybe there is a box that does this ??..........thanks for reading......artv
Depends on your intended use.
For example, Zubbly used quite substantial amounts of "wild AC" from his turbines into resistive elements to heat his home. Lots of other people use the "wild AC" to preheat water etc. This works because all you're interested in at the end of the day, is watts.
More delicate equipment - like your desktop computer for example - wants power within a particular frequency range, and within a particular voltage range.
Your average desktop computer also won't draw enough power to tame a mill in a strong wind - so you're at serious risk of a (dangerous) runaway.
Most people want power at a time of their choice, not the winds. Thus, "banking" the power in batteries, and either using it directly from the batteries later, and/or converting it back to AC for more convenient use is the only practical option for most of us.
