Tom, What is the "nominal" voltage of that turbine ? And the nominal battery voltage ?
Could you get the power curve and winding resistance of the turbine ?
A Max Power curve is ideal (power or current vs. voltage), but winding resistance
and a general power curve (at a specified battery voltage) could be useful to create a starting point.
How about this idea... If there is no means to graph the turbine's power vs. voltage,
another way to get another point or two would be to take the power curve measurements at 2 different battery voltages, with the dump load operating at each battery voltage,
say, 12, 24 and/or 48 Volts. Then again, that might not be real easy either, depending on the dump load controller that is available. A C40 might work though.
