AIR-X LAND
|
The AIR-X builds upon what 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. |

Much Lower Noise: 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. In high winds, the AIR-X will continue to produce power at a reduced level until the wind decreases, at which point maximum output will resume. 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 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.
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. Benefit: Greater confidence in high wind conditions without manually operating the stop switch.
