Forgen Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Forgen wind turbines are designed for use in harsh environments where other wind turbines can't last the course: The British Antarctic Survey use these in Antarctica. 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: there are no slip rings to cause interference against electrical equipment; the outlet supply cable to the battery cannot become entangled; there are no separate blades and the unit is vibration free and silent in operation.
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. The Forgen 1000 is also available with a top bearing in addition to the lower one - ideal where the turbine must be mounted on the side of a mast or other structure, rather than on top.
Forgen also make 24 Volt versions of their wind turbines. Low temperature models are also available for polar applications - and if plain white doesn't take your fancy we can even have one built in customized colours! Please contact us for details and a quote.
