Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Can a gas powered generator be used for wind power?

If your not living on the edge your taking up to much space!

Probably not, at least not easily. The gas powered generator is likely built for much higher RPM than you could get with wind power unless you incorporated a gearing stage.
