Designed to withstand forces on the wind generator and tower from high heavy winds this all weather tower kit is easy to assemble and an excellent choice for almost any small wind generator.
Rv wind turbine tower.
Power output is actually cubed as you double the speed of the wind.
Wind turbines are perfect when teamed up with solar panels but some wind generators don t support solar panels.
If your wind generator tower is mounted on your rv it could cause real problems if not securely mounted.
In other words a turbine producing 5 watts of power at 2 mph winds will produce 15 watts of power with 4 mph winds and so on.
I had the privilege of meeting co owners jack and crystal wright at the 2013 overland expo.
So must the turbine.
The wind pushes through the blades of the turbine which in turn makes the shaft spin.
The folks at free spirit energy now offer the windwalker 250 a wind turbine made specifically for rv s.

He generously allowed me to take these pictures and told me all about his wind gen.
So before buying an rv wind turbine always make sure you are able to set it up along with a good solar panels panel setup.
The rated 400 watts would show up all right in a steady 28 mph wind not exactly ideal camping conditions.
One of the issues with wind is the size of the turbine span.
That s where the trouble started.
Total cost for the windwalker 250 is only 395 far less than the kits being offered for marine use by other companies.
Bolt on wind turbine flange fits 1 1 4 pipe adapter steel mount bracket bolts.
These turbines are miniature versions of those you see on huge wind farms across the country.
As wind speed doubles power output increases eight times.
Wind speed is critical to turbine output.
Power increases as the square of the wind speed it s the old f mv 2 equation from physics 101.
His is a 400 watt model made by air x one of the leaders in small wind gens for homes and rvs.
For instance southwest windpower one of many turbine manufacturers has been generating small wind generators for over 15 years including smaller versions 45 to 80 feet in height for home and farm use.
The way wind turbines work is quite simple.
How does an rv wind turbine work.
This complete tower kit is designed to mount the coleman 400 watt wind generator sold separately item 48400 and other small wind turbines.
It then spins the generator to produce electricity.
