I like the idea of wind mill heat production. I been thinking about using divert load resistor for added heat in the bedroom during the winter. Plumbing for the bedroom would not be practical for me. An extension cord could be temporary and easy to run from the mill. So parts would be wind turbine, extension cord, bridge diodes to turn to dc and the divert load resistor.
Diversion Dump Load Resistors

Could put a three way switch at the wind mill to send the energy to the batteries when not needed for heat. The charge controller would divert it to a hot water element when batteries are full.

I think it would be great for those stormy winter nights. If i could get it to work
