yeah ok.. i understand all that... I should have reworded my question specifically.. apologies..

Ive seen for sale on ebay at the moment the following item :

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TURBO-MY-TURBINE-WIND-GENERATOR-REGUL ATOR-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ110243248593QQihZ001QQcategoryZ105813QQ tcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

He's claiming in here that these regulators (with no specs i might add) will increase performance over chinese regulators.. which wouldnt surprise me at all, becuase the chinese ones are only allowing 100w i think .. so are preventing anything higher from passing.. but other than having an internal dump load and higher throughput in the regulator, why would you look at this over say a PL40-60 ?

Has anyone seen / got one of these units ?

Steve
