Aquair 100 100W
Suitable for use on Blue Water cruising yachts. Easily mounted and demounted using simple rope system. Wind turbine conversion available for use at anchor.
- Towed Turbine Generator when sailing
- Wind Driven Generator when at anchor
Proven over thousands of miles of ocean cruising. Reliability is achieved by using a towed turbine on a 30 metre line directly coupled to the alternator shaft. Totally sealed alternator. Stainless steel gambol ring provides a simple and automatic alignment method. Built to professional standards for long term endurance and backed by full manufacturer's warranty.
The Aquair 100 is constructed of marine grade materials for minimal maintenance. Only a spare turbine is recommended to cater for accidental loss. Electrical contact is direct to the battery using a simple on/off control switch.
Greatly reduces the frequency of engine running to recharge service batteries. The Aquair 100 generates sufficient power to run an autopilot, maintain navigation equipment or support a fridge. Produces a continuous output of 6 Amps at 12 volts. Permanent magnet alternator, has no commutator brushes, windings cannot overheat so requires no thermal cutouts or protection choke.
Sailing downwind at 6 knots, the Aquair 100 Water Drive generates approximately 5 amps continuous charge.
WIND OPTION
Conversion consists of a 6-blade wind turbine, direction fin plus swivel poles (or pole mount).
This enables the Aquair 100 to be hoisted in the rigging or stern mounted for use at anchor.
Stern Deck Mounting Suitable Stainless Steel fabrication to accommodate the Aquair 100 gimballed generator on yachts without a suitable push-pit e.g. those with canoe sterns, rails separated by less than 300mm and many multi-hulls
