Come on. I wanted to know how hi a freq a 60hz transformer can take,
and you tell me the same thing the previous message said about 'dont
let the hz go too low... it'll draw too much current!' Sheesh... its a
windmill! It aint going to generate any big current at low
frequencies!
Lets spec 1 mph to 100mph... 1 rps to 100 rps... 3 hz to 300 hz. If
you live in Florida and want to keep your TV on during the yearly
100mph winds, get a big ol 70V line transformer to run your power in
from the tower. That transformer will take 10Khz or so!
