These micro wind turbines are much tougher than their size would lead
you to
believe. I have tested them in winds over 65mph and they just keep
putting
out more power.
Depending upon what kind of load (higher loads require more wind to
begin turning) you have hooked to it, it will start turning
in as little as 4-5 mph winds. The Micro-1 requires winds of 15+ mph
will output 12+ volts. The Micro-2 can be wired in series to allow it
to output 12+volts in about 9 mph winds.
Please note that ALL of these generator motors are new and TIGHT. They
will require more wind to begin turning until they loosen up.
If you live in a lower wind are the Micro-2 wired in series works very
well. I you have higher winds, simply wire the Micro-2 in paralel.
What can you use this turbine for? Well let me give you a few ideas.
- If it's turning in
5-6 mph winds they will charge any of your AAA, AA, C or D rechargable
batterys. You'll need to make a simple connector (not
included) . anywhere you go. and you've got hot
batterys for your
camera, Ipod, etc Hikers, hunters, boaters, etc. can
really appreciate this.The unit can easily be carried in a back pack
when broken down.
- I get emails almost every
day from folks that want a mini wind turbine
to power a small dc light bulb when it's turning. They just want to see
a light burning when they look out the window at night or while sitting
on the porch in the evenings. This unit will do that also. If it's
turning it will light the bulb (not included) and it gets brighter as
wind speed increases.
I reccomend a 6 volt bulb in lower wind areas and a 12v bulb
in higher
wind areas. You can also use LED's but don't try the ultra low voltage
versions as this turbine will burn them up very quickly.
- This unit is perfect for
your childs school project or your own alternative energy project. Key
word: experimentation.
See how wind power really works. Discover wind powers strengths and
weakness' before you put your hard earned money into a
more expensive wind turbine. Boy and Girl scouts also have a blast
experimenting with this turbine.
- Some folks with ideal wind
conditions have successfully used these micro turbines to supplement
their solar panels when
providing power to remote barns, shops, cabins, fence chargers, gate
openers, sailboats etc.
Connecting these turbines couldn't be simpler. After mounting the
turbines
onto a pole or pipe that allows it to operate in clean air, connect the
positive and negative wires from the turbine to the positive and
negative terminals of your battery using 14 or 16 gauge wire. No charge
controller is needed unless you live in a higher wind area.
The output of these units was verified during open voltage tests and
direct short amperage tests under controlled conditions.
Both the output and function of each turbine is verified before
boxing.
Here's
a detailed description of the item:
- The
units are very small, about 14" long from the tip of the prop to the
end
of the tailfin.
- They come with a blocking
diode installed so as not to discharge your battery when the wind isn't
turning the turbine.
- The main beam (frame) is
made of 3/4" steel square tubing and painted black. Plastic plugs are
used to cap the ends of the
turbing to give a nice, finished apperance.
- The downtube (the part that
slips into your mounting pole, etc.) is 1" steel and is welded to the
main beam.
- The tail fin (which keeps it
pointed into the wind) is made of inexpensive white plastic and is
bolted to the main beam
with a pair of bolts.
- The generator motor is
solidly clamped to the main beam and will not move.
- The motor cover is made of
pvc plastic pipe and painted. Style and colors of the motor cover may
vary.
- A two blade 15" prop comes
with each unit. It is made of durable plastic and the actual prop color
may vary.
- The unit comes 95% assembled
and anyone can bolt on the tail fin and install the prop in less than 5
minutes.
