No, no, it just starts the fun! (law of preservation of hassle :-)

Using a permanent magnet means you have no control over the alternator output. So now you should add a controller that regulates the power take off to maintain optimum power point and does not destroy your battery!

Oh, and don't forget to add a braking mechanism, otherwise your turbine will spin out of control on strong winds and light loads (battery full for example).
