@ramikhair Just one ... By: tcepsa. on 09 Sep 10, 20:50:12 @ramikhair Just one, but you need an inverter to switch it to AC and convert it to 220V. However, just one battery doesn't hold enough energy to run a whole house for very long, so (oversimplifying slightly) you'll need to figure out how much energy you use (usually given as kWh on your electrical bill) and how much energy each battery holds and then get enough batteries to hold that much energy. The problem is getting enough batteries, and enough wind generator and wind to keep them charged.
@ramikhair I ... By: LostInMadness220. on 08 Sep 10, 23:57:31 @ramikhair I believe 10 batteries for a 120v , a 220 is when you use two breakers of 20. So I guess 20 batteries?

The Bridge Rectifier is brilliant...one of my hold ups was how to use any motor as a generator rather than having to buy an alternator or something else like that. Thanks for the great vid...this is very useful.
