I dont...

there are a couple of companies that make windmills and use GM alternators with extra chipping to deliver the right amount of power to the batteries...those are rated at 4500watts

they can output 120v easily on their own bypassing the regulator/rectifier...
If that's the case, why are there not more of those instead of windmill farms? A little to contradictory if you ask me.
