i am trying to design a wind genorator one piece at a time i am currently working on the altinator i need it to produce enough power to run my 500 watt 12v dc ac inverter at probably full load when used. i will be using 1 deep cycle battery to stabilize the power and eventualy 2 or 3 batteries and 700 watt inverter. let me know if you need more info.

Your biggest problem will be mechanical stability, reliability, and durability. A single 12v 100AH battery would supply this load for at most 2 hours. How many hours a day do you need to run the inverter? How many hours a day do you have wind? You'll need some way to supply current to the field coils only when the wind is blowing. You need limiting so it doesn't burn out or blow apart in storms. If you're really doing it from scratch, try an alternator from a fairly large truck. If not, consider a commercially manufactured wind turbine. Check local zoning restrictions.
