The premise is that a 2.5kw wind generator is linked via the inverter to heat transfer casing of a 2hp stirling engine with the gas medium being alcohol. Is this feasible given the amounts of heat produced and required? Thank you so very much for any insights or help you can offer.

I’m in the process of building my first wind turbine and was curious if running it without a load (ie. battery bank) would be harmful to the generators? I’m using a 260VDC 5A permanent magnet treadmill motor as the generator. I’m about ready to put up my tower and wasn’t sure if I can go ahead and get it all assembled and put up and then add the battery bank as soon as I can get the batteries. This way I could also see how well it’s going to perform on the tower. It’s a 60′ lattice tower and will be hinged at the bottom but still will be a bit of a pain to lower and raise a lot. I’m really excited about getting this up and running but don’t want to damage anything before I even get started.
Also I’ve heard of people using old electric baseboard heaters as a load dump when the bank gets fully charged. I’m having some trouble locating any of these around here and was wondering if anyone would have any other suggestions on something I could use as a dump? Thanks for all your time.

The concept applied here is fundamentally the same problem whether I am worried about hooking up a speaker to my power amplifier or connecting up a solar cell to an electrical load.
For this problem assume that Vs = 12 V and Rint = 8 ohms. Assuming we are at the conditions for max power transfer, determine
The value of RL.
The power absorbed by RL.
The efficiency of the circuit, that is, the ratio of power absorbed by the load to power supplied by the source.

i once coiled up a load of tube in an old microwave oven and sealed the inlet and outlet…why did the water not get heated as it flowed through on full power…eg.is a microwave water heater or kettle not a realistic idea..rob…gt yarmouth
