Forgen Wind Turbines

Forgen wind turbines are designed for use in harsh environments where other wind turbines can't last the course. While most often used for trickle-charging on yachts, they are also an excellent choice for running remote scientific instruments (especially in the polar regions as a low-temperature version is available).

Well-engineered sealed bearings, a simple yet robust construction and an efficient, carefully-balanced generator combine to make a machine that is dependable, yet effective. All electrical components are encapsulated and the unit is virtually maintenance free.

Vertical axis models

This type of vertical axis wind turbine gives lower power output than similarly sized horizontal axis turbines. However, for remote power solutions where dependability is more important than power output, they are an excellent choice. Use a Forgen 500 for lighter loads, and a Forgen 1000 where your power needs are a bit greater.

Forgen have teamed up with Bristol University to produce the new Forgen NT range - producing around 50% more power than their standard counterparts.

Available in a number of variants - 12 and 24V, low temperature, side mount... even in your choice of colours!

Horizontal axis models

The more familiar horizontal axis 8500 combines a good output power with light weight, quiet operations and the legendary Forgen build quality. This is a turbine that will last!
