Now a wind generator would be cool, there are many windmils of huge size

here,
one next to my house (100m or so), a BIG one that replaced 5 smaller

ones...
It is on the coast, and it is always windy here...
How big is that thing?

==============================
As I reported in a previous message its rated capacity is only 150 Watts.
6 Blades , 900 mm diameter, max rpm approx 250 , 3 phase generator ( DC
through one and a half standard 25 Amperes bridge rectifiers)
The thing sits on a street lamp post with an extension (approx 8 metres
above ground.

Thx, sounds good.
I have a place for such a thing, and 1 meter diameter is not much.
Will think about this a bit :-)
