The voiceover was bad, sorry.
RPM vs Current diagram: 7:05
A note about voltage regulator: 9:04
WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER: "Is this generator a smart charger?"
17:54 Questions 3 and 4: "If I add a headlight, will the generator have enough power?" and "How much power does the generator supply in a situation...".
29:45 Demonstration of a clear dependence of the generator current on RPMs.
35:02 Batteries in my boat.
36:26 Charging with Victron chargers (FORMAT WAS WRONG, SORRY, I will do it better in the next part II).
39:23 And this is where the fun begins.
