One of the Best Small Wind Turbines in the World! This very clever and well designed Wind Generator is easy to use and will provide years of reliable service. It produces a high output in low winds, can withstand adverse conditions and is self-regulating. 12v , 24v or 48v (select voltage when ordering) 400 Watt, Built-in Regulator The AIR is by far the worldís number one selling small wind turbine. In late 2001 we introduced an entirely new level of technology which previously was only found in today's state-of-the-art mega-watt-class wind turbines. The AIR-X incorporates a new microprocessor based technology that results in increased performance, improved battery charging capability, greater reliability and the reduction of ìflutterî noise from the machine. The controller allows for peak-power tracking of the wind by optimizing the alternator's output on all points of the cubic curve and efficiently delivers the energy to the battery. The turbineís smart controller allows it to actually control blade rotation speed thus eliminating the buzzing noise commonly found with most small wind turbines. Much Lower Noise: AIR-Xís circuit monitors the wind speed and electronically slows the blades as it reaches its rated output preventing it from going into flutter. This results in a much quieter wind turbine. In high winds, the AIR-X will continue to produce power at a reduced level until the wind decreases, at which point maximum potential output will resume. The AIR-Xís charge controller periodically stops charging, reads the battery voltage, compares it to the voltage setting and if the battery is charged, it completely shuts off all current going to the battery. This function is performed within a few milliseconds. The closer the battery is to reaching its full state of charge, the more often the AIR-Xís circuit repeats this action. This means any size battery bank from 25 to 25,000 amp hours or higher can be charged safely. When the battery has reached its charged state, the AIR-X will slow to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has dropped below its voltage set point will it startup and resume charging |

CAN BE USED ON IT'S OWN OR IN COMBINATION WITH SOLAR PANELS Why buy a bigger unit? Buy a few of these - they are easy to instal, reliable and the best value per watt. If one fails - teh others are still producing while the unit is fixed! |
