I agree.  In addition, the voltage is controlled electronically (or
electro-mechanically if your generator is really, really old) so only the
frequency will vary with shaft rpm.  And these days, very few things care
much about frequency.  Computers, TV, microwave will run just as well on 50
Hz or 70 Hz as 60 Hz.

Just don't try to keep time by it <g>
