This is really inspirational, according to the instructions it would also take only a day to make with a friend. A day well spent I would say.

Does anyone know what kind of generator setup you should get for charging a car battery? A link would be helpful. If used car generator is ok, how to get one from aftermarket?

The video is awesome, how it is made?

If you're looking for a complete solution, there are a decent number of small wind turbines designed for charging 12v batteries (car batteries) on yachts.

Here's the 1st company I found on google. I can't personally vouch for the product, but it should give you an idea of what's available.
