hello all. i would like to create a mini wind powered generator. i was hoping that i might be able to get some advice on designing a setup which will get as much current as possible.ideally i would like to be able to get enough power to charge a mobile phone. i dont want the span of the turbine blades themselves to be more than about 6 inches.i understand that it is possible to take an electronic motor and use that to generate electricity but is this a sensible solution for my problem? would a gear system be needed to get enough rpm to generate enough power? does this sound feasible? thanks in advance for any help.
