This is a 300 watt mini
wind turbine. It was designed for LOWER
wind
areas.
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 8-9 mph winds. I consider 25-30 mph winds to be maximum
survivable conditions.
What can you use this turbine for? Well let me give you a few ideas.
- This
unit will
charge 12 volt batteries. It's maximum output in ideal conditions is 30
VDC and 10 amps. This voltage will not harm your battery.
Keep in mind that many "12 volt solar panels" make 26-30 VDC
also.
- It
can be connected to some
grid tie inverters. Check with your manufacturer to see if it will work
with yours.
- 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 one or more LED light bulbs 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. This turbine will easily power a string of LED's
and make lots of light.
I reccomend 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' . Scouts also have a blast
experimenting with this turbine.
- Some
folks with decent wind
conditions have successfully used these mini turbines to supplement
their solar panels when
providing power to remote barns, shops, cabins, fence chargers, gate
openers, sailboats, RV's, etc.
Connecting this turbine couldn't be simpler. After mounting the turbine
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 12 gauge wire.
The output of this unit was verified during open voltage tests and
direct short amperage tests under controlled conditions.
Both the output and function of each turbine is verified 3 times before
boxing.
Here's
a detailed description of the item:
- The
unit is very small, about 28" long from the tip of the prop to the end
of the tailfin.
- It
comes 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
tubing to give a nice, finished appearance.
- The
downtube (the part that
slips into your mounting pole, etc.) is 7/8" 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.
- 8
blades (12"
each) come with this turbine. They are made from pvc plastic pipe. The
plastic used may have scuff marks due to the way the manufacturer ships
the pipe.
- The
prop hub is made from
1/8" steel.
- The
unit comes 95% assembled
and anyone can bolt on the tail fin and install the prop in less than 5
minutes.
- The
turbine weighs about 6
pounds.
