Marine Wind Turbines

Air Breeze Marine Turbines

Today's sailboats are loaded with new electronics gear that consumes lots of electricity. Where do you find that energy? Look to the wind. When you're on the water, wind power offers an economical solution to your energy needs.
To produce serious electrical output when underway, you can rely on Air Breeze, the new generation of the world's best-selling small wind turbine. From sailboats to remote seaside cottages, Air generates inexpensive energy, right where it's needed. The all-new Air Breeze has been fully re-engineered and optimized for the cruising environment.
Why is Air so popular? Installation simplicity, integrated electronics, performance and good looks are just a few of the reasons why Air is the choice of sailors around the world. Another big reason is energy output. Whether you need power for refrigeration units, auto-pilots, water makers, lights, navigational devices or communications gear, Air Breeze and a good wind can handle the load.
Better still, with Air Breeze, you can feel good about the power you are using. Small wind systems produce clean, non-polluting electricity. So why not turn to the benefits of the wind or upgrade your existing wind turbine to power your onboard equipment with the fully refined Air Breeze system.

Air-X Marine Turbines

The Air X Marine 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. 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.

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.

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.
