Affordable Solar offers a wide range of wind turbine kits, one of which is the Air-X Land 24V wind turbine kit. This kit includes an Air-X Land 24V wind turbine, an Air wind turbine 30A circuit breaker, and an Air wind turbine stop switch. The Air-X Land 24V wind turbine kit features blades made of carbon fiber composite as well as comprises a brushless alternator, which is of neodymium cubic curved type. As the wind turbine comprises only two moving parts, it does not require a high level of maintenance.
The Air-X Land 24V wind turbine
One of the features of the Air-X Land 24V wind turbine kit is its “high wind safe mode.” This feature allows the turbine to slow down on its own when faced with strong winds and thereby reduces the noise and potential damaging to blades. This wind turbine is constructed with castings made of aircraft grade aluminum alloy.
The wind turbine kit is also equipped with an internal battery charge regulator. In addition, the wind turbine includes an auto brake feature that slows down the turbine when batteries are being charged. This reduces turbine noise as well as increases the life of the bearings in the turbine. The rotor diameter of the wind turbine kit is 46 inches. The start up wind speed of the rotor is seven miles per hour.
Other features of the Air-X Land 24V wind turbine kit include power point tracking or MPPT and a microprocessor based controller. The Air-X Land 24V wind turbine offered by Affordable Solar is suitable for applications such as battery charging, powering remote homes and remote cabins, water pumping and for use as science projects.
