   The ouput of a wind trubine generator is a function of air flow across the turbines and the efficieny of the genrator.
   Once the windspeed reaches some set point more speed doesnt not help and in fact can be a negative casueing the trubine to shut down to protect itsself.

   The only things you can do to "generate a lot" is to maximize the blade design so it gets the most truns per given amount of wind and tow redcuce fricitons and resistance to electical current in the generator. Like tung upa cr motor to get the best performance.

   Slow and steady wind is better that gustsof super-fast wind.

   The armature is connected by a gear train to the windmill . The armature spinning in the magnetic field of the stator produces electrical current . The limit is the size of the wire there is only so much current that a particular size of wire will carry without becoming overheated and melting the insulation . Any way of spinning the armature makes this happen , using a water turbine in a dam on a river , or using a steam turbine on a fuel or nuclear powered plant does the same thing .
