wind turbine plans Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recharge a car battery with a wind turbine?
I'm planning to build a catamaran from two surfboards, attach a DC pump motor, put a seat on it and a wind turbine (500W) and make this thing my commuter boat. It needs to cover 8 miles in under an hour and back, and I hope to recharge it over night using the wind turbine only (the thing will be moored in Otago Harbour, southern New Zealand, and I'm planning to swim out to it in the mornings using a wetsuit).
How many batteries do you reckon I need, how big an engine do I need to get up to about 10 knots, and how many wind turbines are necessary to recharge this thing over night?
As you can see, I'm a determined fool.
Excellent idea!
Let me contribute a bit, if you don't mind. Why don't you just skip the turbine and the motor and build a sailing catamaran instead, based on two windsurfing boards?
This thing will be as agile as a roadrunner; however, it will require good sailing skills. The wetsuit you planned for swimming to your vehicle in the morning will come in handy, you will need it during the trip.
But I'd not be surprised if that thing could do 16 miles per hour with ease.
Can you use two different styles of batteries in a battery bank for a wind turbine?
I know this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but can you use a combination of deep cycle and regular car batteries in a battery bank for a wind turbine? I haven't the money to go out and buy deep cycle batteries new and I've only been able to come up with 1 used deep cycle battery so far. I have 2 or 3 car batteries that I've rehabbed and was curious if I could put them together for a little more capacity until I can have all deep cycle batteries? All the batteries are 12V. And at this time I am only planning on paralleling them so that they remain 12VDC but I'm open to putting them in series if that would be a better option for me. I know that a car battery is the wrong kind of battery to be using due to the kind of batteries they are but thought just maybe it could be done for a while to add a little extra capacity to the bank as a whole. Thanks in advance for your help. 
If you mix batteries they have to be in series or the strongest battery will discharge through the weaker ones.
The series charging current will be limited by the smallest capacity battery.
