AIR BREEZE Marine Wind Generator

Low-Wind Version of the AIR-X

All three voltages in stock and ready to ship!

NEW  - a low-wind version of the popular AIR-X turbine!

This auction is for a brand-new, never-used Southwest Windpower 160W AIR BREEZE 12V (24V and 48V must specify with payment. otherwise 12V will be sent) Marine Wind Generator, new in the original box with instruction manual and all warranty information (THREE YEAR GLOBAL WARRANTY starts upon your purchase date).  This is the latest AIR design from Southwest Windpower featuring an internal regulator to keep your batteries from overcharging, as well as one of the quietest designs in the industry. The Marine version is rated for saltwater exposure with a white powder-coated aluminum housing, epoxy-coated circuit board, all stainless steel hardware, and tin-plated copper wiring.

Southwest Windpower has begun shipping the BREEZE turbines with BLACK blades for better UV protection. Your turbine may have white or black blades depending on manufacturing date.

The BREEZE model is optimized for sites which do not get the 28MPH winds which the big-brother AIR-X is designed for. The alternator has been redesigned to produce more power at lower speeds, the new blades are wider with a different pitch for slow speeds, and the effective start-up speed is only 6MPH. Since the alternator produces more power than the AIR-X at lower speeds, you will get more power from the BREEZE on a daily basis if you are in an average wind zone. Keeps the same great features as the AIR-X such as a cast aluminum housing, 110MPH survival windspeed, and an internal peak-power-tracking regulator for battery charging (no external charge controller required).

And for those of you who are unfamiliar with Southwest Windpower's AIR family of wind generators, here's some great info from their website:

EFFICIENCY = ENERGY

The most powerful wind generator in its class.

The all-new AIR BREEZE. Quieter, more efficient, and precision engineered to deliver more energy at lower wind speeds than any other wind generator in its class. AIR BREEZE is the next generation of AIR turbines—with more than 100,000 units sold in 120 countries, the world's most popular small wind turbine.

• 3 year warranty
• Durable composite blades
• Microprocessor-based smart internal regulator with peak power tracking
• Aircraft-quality aluminum alloy castings
• Brushless neodymium alternator
• Maintenance-free — only two moving parts

The AIR family of wind turbines...

The AIR is by far the world’s number one selling small wind turbine. In late 2001 we introduced an entirely new level of technology which previously was only found in today's state-of-the-art mega-watt-class wind turbines.

The AIR incorporates a new microprocessor based technology that 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 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 most small wind turbines.

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’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’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 will slow to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has dropped below its voltage set point will it startup and resume charging.

WHERE AND HOW THE AIR WIND MODULE IS USED

• The AIR is an ideal product for the person that needs a little power for basic appliances such as TV, radio and a few lights.  
• Remote Cabins
• Telecommunication Towers
• The Developing World
• Monitoring Stations

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.
