Microprocessor-Based Technology

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

The Air X 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.

Quieter operation

Previous AIR wind modules relied on their aero-elastic blade design for protection in high winds. This caused a loud flutter noise in winds above 35 mph (16 m/s). The Air X circuit monitors the wind speed and electronically slows the blades as it reaches its rated output preventing it from going into flutter. This results in a much quieter wind turbine. In high winds, the Air X will continue to produce power at a reduced level until the wind decreases, at which point maximum potential output will resume.

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 X 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 X 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 X 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 Air X is Used

  • The Air X is an ideal product for the person that needs a little power for basic appliances such as TV, radio and a few lights.
  • Common applications for the Air X
  • 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 X to a silent spin when the batteries are charged thus extending bearing life and reducing noise.

    last week it burnt. the internal controller does not work. Where I could buy another internal controller? and how much is it?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards.

  3. LESLIE GREEN

    Could you inform me where I can buy an internal controller for an AIR-X 12V/400W LAND, PLEASE?

    Hi Leslie, a good place to look for spare parts for the air-x is actually at eBay.com USA or eBay.co.uk

    Dear Sir,
    I a widow who is on a pension and lives in the country. I do have a lot of trees, but there is a large open expanse at my garage. I would like to have more information on this item. Do you offer towers for sale also for these units. I am looking at
    supplementing my electric to reduce costs and on days of high wind would enjoy seeing the meter run backwards for a change. Would also need to have some idea of installation costs involved as I would have to hire someone to erect it. Also shipping costs involved. Thank you and have a nice day, a breezy one at that.
    Yours truly
    Pat Books

    Where i can buy a 400W Air-x?
    Can be delivered in Greece?
    Thanks

    I am interested in putting up a wind turbine in my back yard it is nothing but open farm fields. I would like some kind of pricing for a small unit to hook into my house with easy installation that i may do myself alon with shipping charges

    I have been looking at various wind turbines and your 400W Air-X is very competitively priced indeed. You have some good info on the product too. Well worth considering for a small cabin.
