Whisper Wind Generators are fairly quiet. The blades on all models, except Model 500, are injection-molded fiber reinforced. All models use a direct drive, brush-less, permanent magnet 3-phase alternator for high power and low cost. Unregulated AC power from wind generator is sent to be rectified to DC at the control box which is used for charging batteries. Sealed bearings are permanently lubricated for low maintenance. Frame is stainless steel or cast aluminum. Models 100 and 200 are preset for 24 volt and are easy to configure to 12, 36 or 48 volt.

Includes Charge Control Box and meter display. It shows: Total Kilowatt Hours, Peak Amps (and peak or average wind speed with optional Anemometer) The meter display can be mounted on the controller or up to 1000 feet (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.
Start up wind speed is 7-8 mph. Patented side angle governor tilts alternator and blades up and back at an angle for over-speed protection in higher winds. 5 year factory warranty. Made in USA.

SkyStream 3.7

1900 watt - 120-240 volt AC  -  12' rotor diameter,  50-325 RPM

A breakthrough new generation design produces energy for less than the average cost of electricity ($.09 per KWh) in 12 mph average winds. Connects to your circuit breaker box. The wind generated electricity is used by your house first and any surplus electricity goes to the utility company back through the meter. The utility company may or may not pay for surplus depending on their program. Each utility company has their own contract you have to sign before they grant permission to connect a wind system to the grid. No power is available when there is a utility power outage.   Blades are made of fiberglass reinforced composite. Braking system is electronic stall regulation with redundant relay switch control. 8 MPH cut-in wind speed, 20 mph rated power, 140 MPH survival wind speed. Direct-drive, slotless, permanent magnet, brushless alternator rated 2600 watt peak 50-325 RPM. 5 year limited warranty. We recommend the Wireless Remote Display  916 MHZ with antenna and AC adapter for monitoring and communicating with wind turbine.
      

Energy Production       Estimated Kilowatt Hours generated per month for various wind speed averages.
The average house uses about 400 to 700 KwH per month. An efficient house can use less than this amount. A house with electric space heating, electric water heating and lots of air conditioning will use much more. The wind speed greatly affects the amount of electricity made. It is important to become energy efficient. Cut out the waste so less electricity is needed.

The four guy wire anchors are located one-half the tower height away from the hinged base. Components will need to be painted with the color of your choice. Not included is the schedule 40 tower pipe, lifting line, anchors, ground rods, rebar (all of which you can purchase more cheaply locally) and concrete. Shipped freight collect. Tower manuals included with kits or available separately for $12.

Anchor Suggestions by Southwest Windpower

There are four types of anchors that are most commonly used with our towers, screw in "Auger" type anchors, hammer driven "duckbill" anchors, cast concrete anchors and expansion bolts (for use only in solid rock). What anchor should be used depends on the soil type that the anchors will be placed in. See the following table for our suggestions.

Soil Type

Sand
Loose Gravel
Loam
Clay
Rocky Soil
Gravely Soil
Solid (Soft) Rock
Solid (Hard) Rock

Recommended Anchor
