Whisper Industrial Wind Turbines
Formerly the Whisper H40, the Whisper 100 has been updated
for 2005 with new features and added flexibility for your
renewable energy system. Now, any Whisper 100 can have its
voltage changed, 12-48V DC, within a few minutes in the
field. The Whisper 100 is designed to operate in a site
with medium to high wind speed averages of 12 mph, 5.4 m/s,
and greater. The 100 provides 100+ kWh per month, 3.4 kWh
per day, in a 12 mph average wind. Worried about noise?
The Whisper 100 is one of the quietest wind turbines ever
tested by the National Renewable Energy Labs. Click on the

In addition to its patented smooth acting side furling
design, the Whisper 100 has a number of new features that
make it ideal for any new or existing photovoltaic system.
- A new four bearing spindle for a smoother operation
and longer life
- An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently delivers
current to your batteries
- New bronze bushing and larger diameter furling pin for
smoother furling action
- New castings that allow easy access to the stator for
changing voltage
Included with every whisper is our new Whisper Controller.
Unlike many of our competitors, the Whisper controller includes
a diversion load to ensure quiet safe operation of your
wind turbine when the batteries are charged.
It installs in minutes and it protects both your wind
turbine and battery. The Whisper controller fits easily
inside your battery room. Add the optional LCD display and
you will instantly receive real time data on the performance
of your Whisper 100. The display can be mounted on the controller
or a 1000 (300 meters) away letting you know what is happening.
You can even add an anemometer to your controller and now
you can measure wind speed and compare it to the output
to make sure you are getting the most from your Whisper
100.
The Whisper 100 is designed for even the novice. The Whisper
can be installed in just a few hours with no welding, no
concrete or cranes. Our engineers designed the work out
of installing wind turbines. Now wind is as easy to use
as photovoltaics.
Why small wind? Solar and wind resources often compliment
each other. Generally when it is sunny it is calm and when
it is cloudy it is windy. This complimentary effect is even
greater during seasonal changes. During the winter and spring
when the sun is at its least exposure, the wind is at it
highest. A Whisper 100 during these periods is essential
to keep your batteries charged and your lights on.
Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor
protects the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator
and blades out of the wind, reducing turbine exposure. Unlike
other wind turbines that lose as much as 80% of their output
when furled, the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to achieve
maximum output in any wind.
