Before you consider wind power, the diagram below shows the areas unsuitable for Wind Turbines - if your potential turbine position is not affected by these criteria - please read on!
1kW Futurenergy Wind Turbine System with New AirForce Controller
AirForce 1kW Turbine Available in 24/48v versions

The New Futurenergy Turbine - Information, Assembly & Installation Guide
This "Completely New Model" ‘rugged’
Upwind Turbine range is based on over 10 years experience of
real-life usage with testing and development from user feedback
throughout the world.
Using our unique Permanent Magnet Generators, combined with our
Hi-Spec Wind Turbine Blade Sets, these turbines create very
useful power in low wind conditions, and over 1000W in winds of
12.5m/s.
Available in 24V & 48V AC versions, they
are suitable for battery charging, water /air heating
etc.
We don’t recommend, nor will we warranty the installation of
any of our turbines in ‘building-mounted’ installations, other
than for steel-framed and other industrial buildings.
These turbines are tower-top ready, and will fit on to a standard scaffold pole
but require a certain degree of DIY skill.
Your turbine will be supplied in 2 shipping containers, weighing a total of 30Kg, plus additional Controller etc and you will be required to attach the tailfin and blades to the main turbine housing. All instructions will be supplied to guide you through the simple assembly, and you should be ready to mount and use your turbine in only a few hours.
• Unique NEW UK made high-spec 3 Phase Permanent Magnet
Generator
• 3 top-grade glass filled light grey nylon turbine blades
• Sealed bearings in mast-mounting shaft
• 60 Amp rated slip-ring prevents cable-twisting
• Aerodynamic profile design
• Patented anti-vibration locking washers
• Rugged and simple, with a minimum of parts and simplicity of
design
• Treated with cutting edge protective coating for optimal corrosion and weather resistance
• Now comes complete with Futurenergy's own Airforce Controller, negating the need for separate charge controllers etc.
Please note these controllers are available seperately and can be retro fitted to most 3 phase turbines of similar power, and in some cases can be fitted to older DC output turbines with the rectifier in the head (as long as the actual generator is 3 phase) - please email or call to discuss
AirForce Control is a brand-new product designed and manufactured by FuturEnergy. AirForce Control provides unparalleled performance monitoring and automatic system protection for your 3-Phase AC 1kW turbine installation. Included with the AirForce Control is a Davis Anemometer, which provides the system with both wind speed and wind direction information.
The AirForce Control unit is installed within a covered
area close to and in series with the manual stop-switch and directly
to the batteries or other loads. When charge parameters are met, or
other controlled parameters exceeded, the turbine is automatically
stopped and restarted when conditions return within operational
limits or further battery charging is required.
AirForce Control offers access to a Web-based portal providing
remote control & configuration, along with trending of historical
performance data for your turbine.
AirForce Control features:
* Provides configurable automatic control of the turbine
* Prevents damage due to turbine overspeed
* Improves system safety, reliability and longevity
* Compatible with 3 phase AC turbine installations and 24V and 48V
battery charging installations
* Ability to monitor performance of the wind turbine: Power (W),
Energy (Whrs), Wind speed instant (m/s) plus time averaged value,
Wind direction (cardinal and ordinal), Battery voltage (Volts),
Current (Amps), Turbine speed (rpm)
* Remote monitor/control capability with WiFi and PC internet connection, also with Android & IOS App.
* Configurable automatic stop/start functionality, parameterised on:
Maximum battery voltage (turbine stop) with turbine restart voltage,
Maximum charge current (turbine stop), Wind speed maximum (turbine
stop) and restart value, Turbine restart delay time (seconds)
* Augments manual stop switch
* Maintains battery systems at optimum levels to prolong life.
Negates the need for dump loads
