the turbine was tested in a purposefully built wind tunnel so as to have a constant source of wind.
during the test the highest voltage were got was 16V with a resistance of 47 ohms but with a bit more tweeking we expect to get up to about 20V

You should try letting the tips of the blades to slightly touch the walls of the yellow thing between the two buckets, this will make the turbine way more efficient ;)
