Will this work with a small wind turbine?

yes it will but you will have to put a power line conditioner in line from the turbine to the light. This would be to prevent over voltage/amperage. The right was to do it would be to have the turbine maintain a 12v battery and then tap the battery with a PLC to the light.

These lights say 10 watts but they actually use less than 10 watts. They can run for hours and hours on a 12 volt system. They are not designed to run straight from a wind turbine. Hope that helps with your question.

How small, if you feed this more power than it is rated for it will burn up. Put a cheap charge controller on a battery and run the light of of the battery. . 02

I believe so. Good luck. My only problem is that the unit is so small I keep misplacing it ........

you will need a pole to get it up into the wind,and a battery bank. the turbine has the controller with it and wire to get it up 20-30 ft. it also has a breaking system built into the controller. good system.been working real good for me. good luck, hope this helps... Dave

It should. There is a magnet that attaches to wheel that spins. Should be ok

The answer depends on how much power the unit draws. If it draws 5 amps or less, it should work.

We have it to help move wind at our fishing camp and it does a great job.I don't know how it'd work for you.GOOD LUCK

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

No, you cannot use the MorningStar with a wind turbine. It doesn't have a wind turbine charge controller built-in is only full solo panels I hope this will help you thank you

This kit will work, the kit is great! However the windturbine itself......better have ALOT of wind. If you don't have an average of 10mph winds or more, better to get solar.

It will but I would not recomend it. It broke in the first 5mins of me using it. A gust of wind came and it snapped like a twig

It should work on any wheel that operates like a bike wheel, as long as there is a spoke to place the small magnet sensor this it should work.

I haven't read anything saying it will and have not tried but I'm sure you could make it work somehow. Great little generator. No issues at all.

for the safety of the battery., a controller charger is necessary to watch for the charging condition of the batter. there are battery charge controller less than 20 USD., in market that will help to solve this problem. otherwise., direct connection from mini-wind turbine will work but the condition of battery in charging mode has NO controller for hi and lo volt status.

Yes, Just connect, one of the two rectifier boards included, to the wires from the turbine and extend the black and red wires to your battery. It will take a fairly strong wind before you get any current out but it does work.

It will work as long as it is connected between a switch and a 12 volt power source. I suggest connecting it into a 12 volt wire that goes to some kind of light that lets you know that the generator is running

Yes , as long as the output of the turbine is DC. Be careful not to exceed the current limits of the board. A diode to prevent over charging is a good idea. The battery won't duscharge through the converter.

Havent used it outside, but cant see why it wouldnt, its powerful enough...... A very well built little fan!
