For a decade, Windseeker wind turbines have set the standard for affordable, reliable wind power. With their unique patented upward-furling design, they produce power year after year, dependably, in conditions from low wind to the extremes of stormy mountain tops. 3-bladed model available for smoother & quieter operation. Marine version available. Unique to the Windseeker Other turbines cut output by as much as 90% once the wind governor is activated. Windseeker's output drops only 15%, retaining approximately 85%of full power, even in winds exceeding 120 mph. $1945 |

Windseeker is the ideal turbine when your power requirements are higher or you have extremely windy conditions. Since its inception over ten years ago, over 4000 Windseekers have been produced.
OPERATION: The Windseeker has a permanent magnet brushless alternator that rectifies the voltage and controls the output internally. This allows better control of the alternator and minimizes connections to the battery. This is also a safety feature, preventing the turbine from damaging itself or harming the user due to excess voltage.
REGULATION & CONTROL ELECTRONICS: The electronics performs several functions to assure maximum output and safety for the user. The control electronics maintain a load on the alternator at all times to make sure that the turbine never over speeds, regardless of the condition of the battery. As the battery is charged, the sophisticated regulator periodically checks the line, correcting for voltage loss and monitoring charge rate. Once the battery has reached its optimum charge level the regulator shuts the current off, preventing the battery from being overcharged while maintaining a load on the alternator at all times to prevent over speeding.
If your application
requires a powerful wind turbine and is in a place with potentially
high winds then consider the Windseeker.
