Is it imperative to use (aeholic?) wind energy ?
Why not use solar cell?  It is cheap, clean, easy to install. A small 2
x 2" cell can supply up to 6V 20mA in a bright sun...  In your case of
.5-5W, it would require a cell of aprox one sq ft to generate the 5W.
But the PIC circuit will consume 5Watts?
