he's trying relate wind turbines to a direct-drive generator, which is the type most used in experiments on this forum. these produce load-dependent back-torque.
To know the difference, you would have to actually have worked with wind turbine generators.
which most have not.
Thats why i suggested using the induction motor in the pictures above. these are almost identicle, but smaller versions (and by design do not need a controller). The back-torque is directly related to the power produced, independent from the load.

Thats the difference between experience and knowledge.
It's really not his fault, he just hasn't been down that road yet.
You can study all the books in the world, but until you actually "do" it, these things are not truly "learned".

I dont even use alternators anymore, just the induction motors as generators. When you compare the efficiency of the power conversion, theres really nothing that comes close.
Even a 3-phase will have a great deal of reverse torque when a load is applied.  You can litterally hook a lightbulb straight to an induction motor, and it wont slow it down. A capacitor is exactly the same, it just transfers the power bit by bit, instead of all at once.

Yes i agree which is why i was my nice new calm self, and the reason i have the induction motor do it yourself download, though i must sau i do like the look of your toys much better, and a lot less work

To ensure we don't waste time on silly arguments, for those who know little of induction motors you will note earlier i said "almost" no cogging, it does still occur but not to a noticeable level, not against the excess power of the momentum gain.

drop a magnet down a copper tube and you will see it falls slower compared to a steel disk or ball the same size, or if you like a copper wound tube with a light connected to it and you have your shaker torch. simple isn't it when you understand how it works? (plus capacitor in the torch to store the energy)

I have given a description of the original machine on the new site, for those who were unable to find it.

   Can I get a link to the new site as its been eons since I have had any time. 6 a week is doing me in but need to get moving somehow.

the link is in the left column beside my posts, it is the green globe with the chat symbols. or simply www.archurian.com if logging in from off site
