The Turbine Tail 2.0 with Auto-Furling
capability and (up to) 48v output is perfect for charging back-up batteries.
Combine it with a charge controller, a dump load and a Power Inverter for
120v, and the only maintenance is the batteries! Use it as a stand-alone
unit or combined with solar panels in a hybrid system where it's main function
is to simply charge batteries. I manufacture the components from corrosion resistant materials that when assembled together form a simple, maintenance free, off grid wind turbine. |

Looking
from the top, the images below depict A Turbine Tail 2.0
rotor positions at different wind speeds. The left image would indicate
no wind or low wind conditions, the center at higher speeds and the right
image in a fully furled condition.

The graph below shows the results of testing Turbine Tail 1.0 with the the rotor/gen combinations listed above. As can be seen they both start making voltage with a wind speed of around 5 MPH and increases in a linear motion until the furling action results in an RPM drop and lower voltage. This exactly what we expect and want in a small turbine at damaging wind speeds. | ||
In these videos of Turbine Tail 1.0 you can see how the rotor rotates about the center line as it starts to furl in high winds: | ||

A Turbine Tail 2.0 frame kit purchased separately is only $295.00. |
Check NOAA for the average wind speeds in your area. |
To get the most out of any wind turbine you need to be clear of obstacles and get it at least 25' above ground level. |
