Hi all

a bit off topic but im sure there is some electronics enthusiasts on here.

I am in the process of building a micro hydro generator from an old smart
drive washing machine.  i have rewired the stator to give an output voltage
between 60 and 120v depending on speed and mostly load.  I need to build a
regulator which will charge a 48v battery bank and be capable of around
5-7A or about 250w.

I was hoping to be able to use a 3 terminal regulator like the lm317 with
current boost transistors but since this regulator has a max voltage of 37v
would not be suitable.

Is the another similar regulator which is capable of the voltages and can i
use boost transistors in the same way with the higher voltage/ power
required.

Thanks guys for your help it will be very much appreciated.

Greig
