Hi Frank. Virtually all wind turbines produce AC power today, but to be more specific, they produce "Wild Three Phase AC." The reason is due to wear avoidance. The most time tested way to build a generator that is maintenance free is to attach permanent magnets to the rotor and spin them through a fixed wire bundle. There are no brushes to lose power through or wear out, but the output is totally unregulated. AC power is not created equal, the power in the US grid for example alternates at 60 Hertz, or cycles per second. The frequency of a wind turbine will vary with the rotor speed. The only way to use this wind turbine output on the grid is to first rectify it to DC, which is done in the control box or turbine housing of virtually all turbines first, then re invert it to AC at the proper volts and frequency. Virtually all turbine manufacturers include some kind of rectifying circuit with any new turbines they deliver, because the power output is useless without one. In most cases the control boxes output is left DC to charge batteries, or feed into a grid tie inverter of some kind.
In most cases turbines, like the one we have, are rectified to DC that is fed to a battery bank. Then our inverter uses the battery power to produce regulated AC which feeds the house and any excess is fed out into the grid so our neighbors can use it. It doesn't go "back" to the power company, just to the next nearest house. Our meter registers a credit, theirs a fee, and the power company handles the billing. Take care Frank, Rudydoo
There is a step-by-step video guide online right now that can show you how to reduce your power bill by making your own solar panels or wind energy system.
Why pay thousands of dollars for solar energy ($27,000 average cost) when you can build your own solar panel system for just a fraction of the retail cost. You can build a single solar panel or you can build an entire array of panels to power your whole house.
Some people are saving 50% on their power bill, some people are reducing their bill to nothing. But what’s most impressive is that just by following these instructions some are even making the power company pay them!

Most wind generators produce dc voltage which is turned into ac electricity via the use of a rectifier.

MOST produce AC, or pulsating/varying DC which is converted to smoother DC BEFORE leaving the generator/alternator.
Na it produce your mum pussy
YES !!!
