1 - Extremely
Low Mass
The AirDolphin Pro and AirDolphin Mark-Zero
only weighs 38.5 lbs, with 0.6 oz. turbine weight per generated
watt. — one fifth of mega-class wind turbines.
The AirDolphin's low mass allows it be
mounted on existing structures like remote telecommunication
towers, transmission line pylons and billboards, as well
as near roads, railways and airports. Even factory and urban
rooftops can become cost effective locations for producing
usable electrical power.
Most importantly, its low mass allows the AirDolphin Pro
to respond quickly to the continuously changing turbulent
nature of wind — thus increasing the total daily amount
of power production.
We call this feature the AirDolphin Pro’s “Dynamic
Wind Capturability".
2 - Swing
Rudder System
Our patented Swing
Rudder System is
an attitude control system inspired by fish tail fin, which
allows the turbine to instantly respond to subtle wind shifts
for improved power generation.

3 - Intelligent
Power Management System
With our
original patented technologies,
the intelligent power management system (patents pending)
realizes consistent blade rotation speed while encountering
turbulent gusts. Even during hurricanes, AirDolphin can
still deliver stable output power after reaching peak wind
speed.
This is a crucial attribute for small wind turbines which
often face turbulence caused by tall city buildings. When
the wind speed exceeds 20 m/s (44.7 mph), AirDolphin continues
delivering output power at a reduced rotation speed with
no need for cut-out. The outstanding performance is achieved
by software driven microprocessors. AirDolphin also has
various safety features enabling it to detect adverse conditions
for automatic shut down.
4 - Seamless
Response Rotor
The rotor system on the
AirDolphin Pro seamlessly responds to various wind
conditions from the slightest breezes to the strongest gusts,
offering a high wind-to-power conversion factor by utilizing
technology commonly found in the aerospace industry
Such as:
(1) ultra low mass, stiff blades constructed of laminated
carbon fiber skins over a special foam core, (2) a multi-stagger
blended airfoil blade that provides superior lift efficiency
from its root out to the tip, and (3) a dynamically balanced
blade and hub system to insure vibration free operation.
Together these elements allow the rotor speed to be constantly
controlled for maximum power output.
5 - Innovation
for Low Noise
The blades of each AirDolphin
Pro are created with Zephyr’s patented SD blade
technology (noise reduction ridges). Our designers were
inspired by the feather patterns of owl wings, which allow
owls to fly in silence while approaching their prey. This
technology applies a series of thin ridges to the surface
of each blade, creating micro vortexes to keep the airflow
attached to the airfoil longer than conventional blades,
thus reducing decibel count.

6 - Robust Body Structure
The bolt-less self-fitting
assembly of the body is inspired by Japanese traditional
block puzzle structure. This technique ensures precise fitting
and superb resistance to adverse weather conditions, greatly
minimizing maintenance requirements.

7 - Power Assist
Function
Throughout each day, small
thermal breezes waft across the land. While each
by itself offers little power potential, they represent
a substantial amount of power potential when accumulated.
If there is no wind, the AirDolphin Pro self rotates for
ten seconds every minute, allowing it to catch all these
small wind events. As an additional bonus, when the turbine
is regularly rotated in this manner, icing in calm cold
conditions is greatly minimized.
8 - The Generator
The light-weight generator
achieves remarkably high power density with tightly wound
coils and powerful neodymium iron boron magnets. These two
features combine to implement the optimum duty cycle by
electronically damping the rotor.

9 - Data Communication
System
Every AirDolphin comes equipped
with an RS-485 protocol wiring harness, allowing both on-site
and remote monitoring via our RM-1000* unit and an optional
IP address.
10 - Life Cycle Assessment
Not only does the AirDolphin
Pro provide clean energy, it also quickly recoups
its own manufacturing carbon footprint. We conducted an
extensive survey over a period of one and half a years,
and the study showed that an AirDolphin Pro requires less
than three months of operation at an average wind speed
of 4.5 m/s (11.2 mph) to offset the entire carbon footprint
of its manufacturing process. (Data source: The University
of Tokyo’s Hirao Laboratory, IEA.)
