The
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) converts wind energy to electrical
power. The VAWT is an omni-directional low wind-speed generator that
may be easily installed practically anywhere with good wind exposure.
The VAWT is seen as a solid object as the rotational speed increases,
making it visible to birds. The VAWT has a 3-phase A.C electrical power
connection and 3-phase rectifier.
Features:
- Moderate Wind Speed Operation
- Direct Drive Generator
- Silent Operation
- Maintenance Free
- 5 Year Limited Warranty
Power Generator Description
The VAWT converts wind energy to electrical energy. The wind pressure
(associated with wind speed) on the cage blades cause the cage
structure to rotate. The magnetic field movement across wire-coils
produces current flow and an associated voltage.
The typical wind-speed to power conversion is shown in the
subsequent graph. Note: wind pressure varies with atmospheric pressure,
altitude, and air particulate composition. All PacWind VAWT products
are covered by U.S. Patent # US 7.109,599 B2 and Patents Pending.
