Nice video there on wind power! Wind power is the future and with places like Texas and Massachusetts leading United States in wind power, very soon power or electricity will be harnessed with the power of wind. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers manufactures liquid-filled distribution transformers...It also offers many other energy-efficient transformers for the wind energy sector.

Where can I get one? I have been thinking about this for about a year, but never had anyone to do a fun project like this.

If I understood your question correctly, it turns out an AC induction motor can also be used as a generator. The wind in this case spins the motor FASTER than the motor's synchronous speed (this is managed by an onboard controller) and thus generates electricity. Google around for more details on the principles involved. Also be sure to read the other comments and responses - you'll find similar questions/answers related to the principles involved

very best
