Whisper 200 Wind Turbine
Product Description
Turbine features:
Solar and wind resources often compliment each other. Generally when it is sunny it is calm and when it is cloudy it is windy. This complimentary effect is even greater during seasonal changes. During the winter and spring when the sun is at its least exposure, the wind is at it highest. A Whisper 200 during these periods is essential to keep your batteries charged and your lights on.
Unlike many other small wind systems, the Whisper 200 includes a controller that has a diversion load to ensure quiet safe operation of your wind turbine when the batteries are charged. The display can be mounted on the controller or up to 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 200.
A new four bearing spindle for a smoother operation and longer life .
An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently delivers current to your batteries.
New bronze bushing and larger diameter furling pin for smoother furling action.
New castings that allow easy access to the stator for changing voltage.
Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor protects the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind, reducing turbine exposure. Unlike other wind turbines that lose as much as 80% of their output when furled, the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to achieve maximum output in any wind.

Review by Guest (Posted on 11/11/09)Good
I recently installed the second turbine of this type, and find it to work equally well as the first one did. The blades balance almost perfectly and little to no vibration has been exhibited. I took the precaution of waxing the blades before mounting them in the hopes of reducing effects of blade icing in the winter months. The turbine is true to its name (Whisper) in that there is little noise when it is at operating speed. I have only seen noisy blade fluttering in excessive winds when the turbine overspeeds.
