The Furlmatic design includes a protective “furling” device in its tail system. This tilts the turbine laterally at right angles to the prevailing wind at windspeeds above 35mph (15m/s) thus reducing the speed of the turbine and protecting it from the forces of excessive winds and reducing stresses on the turbine and tower. This is a very simple but effective design perfected by us many years ago and subsequently emulated by others.
The Furlmatic FM910-3 Windcharger is a quiet, discreet windcharger that can replace the need to install grid power and even enable the use of appliances at remote locations previously considered unfeasible owing to high grid installation costs. It is an affordable energy solution that is easy to install and requires only the very minimum of annual inspection/maintenance. Of course there are also no on-going electricity bills!
For a renewable energy solution to suit your electrical needs speak to our sales engineers, our experience in this field is second to none and when we understand your energy needs we will propose a wind, solar or hybrid wind /solar energy kit that you can rely on. Our reputation depends on it!
Features:
- Unique Rutland Three phase generator design.
That means better performance than all competitors models and greater reliability than single phase design. 80% more power than original model
- Generates 90 Watts @ 19 knots and 24 Watts @ 10 knots
- Low wind speed start up of just 5 knots
More ampere hours are generated because of the Rutlands’ low wind speeds start up Power is being generated in the most typical wind speeds as well as being powerful in the strong winds
- Quiet in operation
Every turbine is finely balanced to ensure smooth rotation Low friction 3 phase alternators give a smooth and silent output
- Automatic thermostatic alternator protection
- They are used to slow the turbine down in prolonged gales
- Robustly constructed
For excellent reliability and product longevity, typically more than 10 years
- One way only fit fine profile efficient aerofoil blades are unique in the industry
They have a positive one-way-only fit Have been tested to withstand a loading with a safety factor 10 times the turbine’s maximum rpm
- Turbine diameter of 910mm
This is a small turbine diameter for the power it produces Easier for you to mount
- Built in slipring and low wear brushes
Gives free 360º rotation on the mounting pole even in the slowest wind conditions
- The alternator’s windings and magnets are encapsulated in glass fibre
Weather Proof, the generator is completely protected from all weather conditions
- available in 12 volt or 24 volt as standard
Compatible with all deep cycle battery types
- No radiated interference
Complies with EEC Directive BS EN 89/336/EEC
It retains its basic design which has been proven time and again in the harshest of environments under critical power supply requirements.
You can see FM910-3 spinnig even in remote places used for::
- seismic monitoring in Antarctica
- communications for Himalayan expeditions
- hot, dusty climate of the Sahara Desert
