We took the wind turbine up to the trail ride to test it out. I would call it a semi-successful test. It does produce 13 volts at a reasonable rpm but with a 75-watt load, it pulls down pretty hard. We really didn't have enough wind for the test, so I think if the wind speeds were up a little bit more it would have been fine. It will probably be able to put out over 13 volts at around 70 watts in a 12-15 mph wind. The charge controller will help to maximize the power if it ever comes in.
