I'm considering making a small wind turbine to charge a 5 V 8000 mAh battery pack. The wind speed in target hills is typically 5-10 m/s. If it ever approached 20 m/s while I was there, I'd probably leave!
I think I could use a stepper motor like this combined with a fan blade like this.
According to the motor specification 0.75 A flows at 7 V. Does that mean that if this reached 7 V when spinning, the current from both phases added together would be 1.5 A?
Is there any way to estimate what RPM would need to be achieved to get 7 V?
