The configuration that I have in mind.
This gives space for the active pitch control box.

Nice work, but aren't you putting the cart before the horse. You are building this transmission with no alternator that you are trying to match.

You're right,
But I think building small windmills is more fun, and there are more possibilities, being part of a team.
By showing my capabilities in this kind of studies I hope to once become part of a team.
In my region or elsewhere.

Next step is mounting the two gearboxes.
As a base the yaw bearing from Active Pitchcontrol Reply #830
The frame between the yaw bearing and gear box no. 1

Driven by the blades it produces the typical humming noise.
Later on I want to shape a three stage gearbox to get a greater ratio to drive a asynchronous 220/380 volt motor as a generator
