Introduction
This auction is for one WindZilla Permanent Magnet Alternator. It is the major component in a small wind / hydro electric generation system. This alternator is perfect for enthusiast who are interested in a DIY Wind Turbine Project. Since this is an alternator, it will generate 3 phase AC electricity. The advantages of an alternator compare to a DC motor are:

1. Alternators have longer life than DC motors. The only thing that will wear out is the bearing (around 20 years). And by a simple bearing swap will allow your turbine to go another 20 years
2. Alternators are more efficient than DC motors becuase they are built to generate eletricity. In additon, there will be less voltage drop in AC electcity compare to DC. Alternatively, DC motors has the option to work as a generator or a motor.

Generator Installation:
Unlike conventional generators in the market where you have to tie it down to a brace, or use super glue to stabalize it, our generator has foot mount for easy installation. All you need is 4 bolts to secure the unit to whatever you like. And you will never have to spend extra money on mounts.

Back of Alternator
28 fins to act as heat sink to dissapate heat. Heavy Duty.

We have seen there are generators out there that hits 24V as few as 150 RPM. However, the amp output will not be impressive because in order to ramp up the voltage, thin wires must be used in the winding of the alternator which will impact the output in strong wind. As a consumer, this is a trade off that you have to decide. Our motors are built with a heavier focus on amp output and therefore it will reach 24V at: 300RPM

Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

WARNING !!!

Rotating turbines present a serious mechanical hazard that can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances should you install the turbine where a
person could come in contact with moving rotor blades.

The installer of these blades is solely responsible for the use or misuse of these turbines. We assume no liability for ANY injuries caused by these products.
