Good job! I'm guessing that those are camshaft timing belts??

Hi, thank you, yes they are auto timing belts. I had to add a bearing within a bearing at the very top to stop the shaft from flexing. I am very happy with the results. I recently found out about the concept of MPPT. The core of the circuit is a Buck converter. The circuit in theory isolated the permanent magnet alternator for the battery allowing the turbine to spin more freely. Then the circuit converts the high voltage and low current to a low voltage and high current which is better for charging batteries. I will post result when available.

I am currently searching for away to supply the IC’s with Vcc. I am not sure if I should use a 12 volt linear regulator from the 12 volt battery bank or if there is a method to use the large input capacitor at Vin. The voltage at Vin can range form 0 to over 200 volts open circuit and I do not know how fast the buck converter will drain the cap at Vin when the mosfet is oscillating. Comments are welcome.
