WePower is a manufacturer of vertical-axis wind turbines. These wind turbines are designed to generate and distribute electric power to rural, urban and suburban areas using wind energy. The wind turbines are suitable for wind farms, commercial and residential applications. The Falcon series vertical-axis wind turbines reduce carbon footprint and fossil fuel emissions and operate with a low noise and are vibration-free.
The Falcon series vertical-axis wind turbine is capable of capturing wind from any direction. These turbine designs can generate the maximum power with low wind speeds. They are available in the following models: Falcon 600W, Falcon 1.2kW, Falcon 3.4kW, Falcon 5.5kW and Falcon 12kW. The Falcon 600W vertical-axis wind turbine is suitable for urban, rural, commercial, residential, industrial and institutional applications. Its rated power is 600W and the rated wind speed is 29mph. The maximum wind speed of this wind generator available from WePower is 111mph and the cut-in speed wind is 6mph.
The Falcon 600W vertical-axis wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 5 feet 5 inches and blades with a length of 3 feet 3 inches. The vertical-axis turbine can be mounted on the tower with a height of 18 feet. The wind generator from WePower has a gross weight of 194lbs. It incorporates electronic overspeed protection such as electronic dump load, which is a governed speed style, and mechanical drum, which is a secondary brake. The generator type used with this turbine is permanent magnet direct drive. The Falcon 600W turbine has the capacity to generate 1,130kWh to 2,270kWh power annually.
