Operating Characteristics Print E-mail

  • Very high torque due to long moment arms

  • Large swept area for more power

  • Dynamic response to wind and load conditions

  • Self-limiting, which prevents run-aways.  No external wind alignment mechanics

  • Canted airfoils create lift in perpendicular axis

  • Self-starting in low wind speeds

  • Very quiet compared to most turbines
