24v altenator regulator should do it ....Do the people you got the motor from not do it ???, would you .not be better off with a alternator ?

Got this last week off amazon along with one of the Biard solar panels.it says it auto switches,12v,24v etc.
planning to link several panels together and build 12volt turbine.will try this out first before getting another for turbine,pretty cheap.
trying to track down 12volt low rpm motor as stuff like alternators (from cars etc) require way too many rpms to generate.

I believe a charge controller for a wind turbine is a different beast to a solar PV one although you can get Hybrids that do both
