AirX Marine
Introducing the latest evolution in small wind
turbines. The AIR-X builds upon what has made AIR the world's #1 selling small
wind turbine with new technology previously found only in today's
state-of-the-art mega-watt-class wind turbines.
All of these features are primarily found within the body of the turbine. The
new microprocessor based turbine controller 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 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 403 and 303 in high winds. Furthermore, a new
series of carbon-reinforced blades with a modified pitch angle further increases
power production.
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.
High Wind Safe Mode - Automatically slows turbine in
potentially damaging winds and reduces noise.
Quiet Operation.

What's New in the
AIR-X?
New microprocessor-based controller.
Lower torque bearings allow for improved startup.
New series of carbon reinforced blades.
More robust tower clamp and yaw assembly for stronger and more secure tower
mounting.

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. The Benefit: Extended battery life, no
overcharging.
Lower stress design: AIR-X 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
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.
