Quieter operation
Previous AIR wind modules relied on their aero-elastic blade design for protection in high winds. This caused a loud flutter noise in winds above 35 mph (16 m/s). The Air X 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.
Improved Battery Charging
Previous AIR designs required 300-400 amp hour battery banks so the trickle charge of the wind turbine could be adequately absorbed. The Air X 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 X 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.
Where and How Air X is Used
* The Air X is an ideal product for the person that needs a little power for basic appliances such as TV, radio and a few lights.
* Common applications for the Air X
* Remote Cabins
* Telecommunication Towers
* The Developing World
* Monitoring Stations
Features
* Unprecedented 3-YEAR WARRANTY
* Carbon Fiber Composite Blades
* Aircraft quality aluminum alloy castings
* Exclusive Brush-less neodymium cubic curve alternator
* Sophisticated internal battery charge regulator
* Maintenance-free - Only two moving parts
Exclusive Auto-brake-feature that slows the Air X to a silent spin when the batteries are charged thus extending bearing life and reducing noise.
