The Ampair 100 is built up to a standard, not down to a price. It will contribute towards providing a free and non-polluting energy independent system. The latest version of this machine builds on the proven features of its predecessors; simplicity of the design and uncompromising engineering.

 

The 6 blade turbine feeds power directly to the generator. Up to 100 watts of continuous power can be produced by the permanent magnets rotating inside heavy duty windings that safeguard the generator from burn-out and eliminate the need for thermal cut-outs, chokes or complex electronics. Electrical slip-rings and brushes allow the Ampair100 to seek the wind and feed the simple two-wire battery connection.

 

Performance

 

The mechanical and electrical design matches the turbine to the alternator, producing maximum conversion efficiency at normal everyday wind speeds (7-18 knots). The Ampair 100 out-performs many of its competitors at these wind speeds whilst still giving a safe and continuous output in storm force winds.

 

Multiple Applications

 

In addition to cruising yachts, Ampair wind generators can be found on hunting cabins in Scandinavia, beach chalets in Tasmania, radar stations in Finland, and are used for radio repeaters in South Africa, telecommunications in the Falklands and several Antarctic expeditions, in fact at any location where 12 or 24 or 48 V battery charging is required.

 

Reliability

 

Engineered to be smooth running, quiet and vibration-free, the Ampair 100 is designed to survive the severest marine environments. All components are sealed to prevent corrosion.

 

Features

 

  • Smooth running and quiet balanced six-bladed wind turbine with blades replaceable as matched pairs.
  • Fully enclosed and sealed pivot and slip ring assembly allows unlimited weather vaning.
  • Compact tail fin minimises turning radius.
  • Shaft seal protects front bearing of generator. All other parts fitted with seals.
  • Pivot axis aligned with centre of gravity of unit to minimise effects of yacht motion or turbulent wind conditions.
  • Charging levels do not appreciably diminish as battery voltage increases.
  • Note: An external rectifier/regulator is required and is not included with this item
