AIR BREEZE   Wind Power Generator  Spec Sheet FAQs         Air Wire Sizing Introducing the latest evolution in small Wind Power Generator turbines.   The "Air Breeze" is the newest technology of the 'Air-X' The 'Air Breeze' builds upon what made AIR the world's #1 selling small Wind Power Generator turbine with new technology previously found only in today's state-of-the-art mega-watt-class Wind Power Generator turbines.  Your Price $699           Call - 435.686.2263         HOURS M-F_8am-5pm mt             Intelligent people generate their own electricity and reduce their vulnerable dependence on an increasingly unreliable utility grid. Even a small system will “slow the meter down”, reducing your monthly electric bill while paying for itself at the same time. A larger system may ”turn the meter backwards”, so that excess power is sold back to the utility. Producing your own power is not only satisfying, but can protect you during a power failure as well. All of these features are primarily found within the body of the turbine. The new microprocessor based speed control results in increased performance, improved battery charging capability and the reduction of “flutter” noise from the machine. The controller allows for peak-power tracking of the Wind Power Generator by optimizing the alternator's output on all points of the cubic curve and then 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 the 'Air Breeze' 400 Watt Turbine and 303 in high winds. Furthermore, a new series of carbon-reinforced blades with a modified pitch angle further increases power production.   The new electronics are a considerable improvement over the 'Air Breeze' controller that consists of diode-rectification and a simple off/off voltage switch. Much Lower Noise: Previous AIR Wind Power Generator modules relied on their aero-elastic blade design for protection in high winds, causing loud flutter noise in winds above 35 mph (16 m/s). Air Breeze’s circuit monitors the Wind Power Generator 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 Power Generator turbine. In high winds, the 'Air Breeze' will continue to produce power at a reduced level until the Wind Power Generator decreases, at which point maximum output will resume. The Benefit:  Quieter and neighbor friendly operation.   Improved battery charging: Previous AIR designs required 300-400 amp hour battery banks so the trickle charge of the Wind Power Generator turbine could be adequately absorbed. The 'Air Breeze'’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 Breeze'’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 Breeze' will slow to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has dropped below its voltage set point will it startup and resume charging. The Benefit: Extended battery life, no overcharging. Lower stress design: 'Air Breeze' limits power on the input side of the electronics by controlling the torque from the blades. The power no longer has to be dissipated by the electronics resulting in lower stress on the circuit, bearings and other materials. Furthermore, stress on Wind Power Generator turbines occurs primarily in high winds. Under these conditions, the electronic stall design reduces the blade speed to 600 rpm, thereby significantly reducing turbine and tower loading while still producing power.  The Benefit: Greater confidence in turbine operation in high Wind Power Generator conditions without manually operating the stop switch.  Note: A manual stop switch control is an available option for the 'Air Breeze'. Design changes are primarily found within the body of the turbine: New microprocessor-based controller. New "wave washer" combined with looser bearing-to-body tolerances are incorporated into the face bearing set This results in lower compression on the bearing/race, with quieter running and lower startup speed.  It also lowers stress on the bearings and shaft when subject to twisting forces during normal operation New series of carbon reinforced blades More robust tower assembly for stronger and more secure mounting   Features Unprecedented 3 YEAR WARRANTY Simple rooftop installation; no tower necessary 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.   High Wind Power Generator Safe Mode Automatically slows turbine in potentially damaging winds and reduces noise.   Neighbor Friendly!   Applications Remote homes & cabins Water pumping Recreational vehicles Battery charging Science & education projects   Specifications Rotor Diameter: 46" (1.14 meters) Weight: 13 lbs (6 kg) Start up Wind Power Generator speed: 7 mph (3 m/s) Voltage: 12 & 24 VDC (36/48 VDC available soon) Output: 400 watts at 28 mph (12.5 m/s) Performance Curves       900 Watts Rated 1000 Watts Rated 3000 Watts Rated $2,495 $3,015 $7,810 Call - 435.686.2263 HOURS M-F_8am-5pm mt   400 Watts Rated 400 Watts Rated 400 Watts Rated $699 $879 $905      Wind Power Generator Atlas Wind Charts   ALTERNATIVE 'GREEN' ENERGY $ Government Financial Incentives $ "For anybody who has ever considered installing a solar system, Washington DC is telling you to do it now," says Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association in Washington, D.C.    Why Rent Electricity When You Can Own It?  Click Financial Incentives Database below to Find Your State http://www.dsireusa.org/ The Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and selected federal incentives that promote renewable energy.
