Formerly the Whisper H40, the Whisper 100 has been updated for 2005
with new features and added flexibility for your renewable energy
system. Now, any Whisper 100 can have its voltage changed, 12-48V DC,
within a few minutes in the field. The Whisper 100 is designed to
operate in a site with medium to high wind speed averages of 12 mph,
5.4 m/s, and greater. The 100 provides 100+ kWh per month, 3.4 kWh per
day, in a 12 mph average wind. Worried about noise? The Whisper 100 is
one of the quietest wind turbines ever tested by the National Renewable
Energy Labs. Click on the link above for a copy of the noise data
report.
In addition to its patented smooth acting side furling design, the
Whisper 100 has a number of new features that make it idea for any new
or existing photovotaic system.
A new four bearing spindle for a smoother
operation and longer life
An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently
delivers current to your batteries
New bronze bushing and larger diameter furling
pin for smoother furling action
New castings that allow easy access to the
stator for changing voltage
Included with every whisper is
our new Whisper Controller. Unlike many of our competitors, the Whisper
controller includes a diversion load to ensure quiet safe operation of
your wind turbine when the batteries are charged.
It installs in minutes and it protects both your wind turbine and
battery. The Whisper controller fits easily inside your battery room.
Add the optional LCD display and you will instantly receive real time
data on the performance of your Whisper 100. The display can be mounted
on the controller or a 1000 (300 meters) away letting you know what is
happening. You can even add an anemometer to your controller and now
you can measure wind speed and compare it to the output to make sure
you are getting the most from your Whisper 100.
The Whisper 100 is designed for even the novice. The Whisper can be
installed in just a few hours with no welding, no concrete or cranes.
Our engineers designed the work out of installing wind turbines. Now
wind is as easy to use as photovoltaics.
Why small wind? Solar and wind resources often compliment each
other. Generally when it is sunny it is calm and when it is cloudy it
is windy. This complimentary effect is even greater during seasonal
changes. During the winter and spring when the sun is at its least
exposure, the wind is at it highest. A Whisper 100 during these periods
is essential to keep your batteries charged and your lights on.
Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor protects
the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of
the wind, reducing turbine exposure. Unlike other wind turbines that
lose as much as 80% of their output when furled, the Angle-Governor
allows the Whisper to achieve maximum output in any wind.
