Playing with wind power

[J57ltr]

Creating DC from 3 phase power is easy and I don't have to add anymore diodes (to keep from backfeeding the motor) because a 3 phase bridge rectifier already has them built in. I am only looking for about 100-150W this is just testing an idea. I am only dealing with something that is going to be about 16" tall and 12" in diameter. As I recall those Amteks (they have them at the old school electronics parts store around the street) and they are about 6" in diameter and about 10" long. They have a few other sizes as well.

I am looking to produce about 16V and around 8 amps to which would give me about 115W to start off with, and I shouldn't need a regulator to keep the voltage down.

That Last site I have seen before and read with great interest, low tech is good but No body is dealing with these brushless motors. I may pick up an outrunner once I see what kind of V/rpm I can get out of those.
