Air-X Land Wind Turbines
The AIR is by far the world’s 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 “flutter”
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 turbine’s smart controller allows it to actually control
blade rotation speed thus eliminating the buzzing noise commonly
found with most small wind turbines.
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). AIR-X’s 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’s 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’s 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 include:
- 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 to a
silent spin when the batteries are charged thus extending
bearing life and reducing noise.
