The Rutland 913 Windcharger

For pleasure, liveaboard and professional sailors the task of maintaining continuous power is made easy with a Rutland 913 Windcharger on board. Essential navigation equipment, lights and the home comforts of a refrigerator, laptop computer and even a hairdryer can be used without the need to run the engine.

Features and Benefits:

• Efficient power conversion – Rutland Windchargers generate greater ampere-hours in real wind conditions than turbines of equal and often larger diameter! That’s because between gusts, our unique high inertia alternator designs maintain momentum with a flywheel effect where other units stall. This adds up to more free wind power generated and stored for you.
• Rutland Windchargers are the lowest cost per watt of power generated. Not only is the generator efficient but volume production for our worldwide customers and in-house manufacturing here at Marlec ensures that we deliver a consistently high quality at an affordable cost.
• Our low friction 3-phase alternator gives a smooth and silent output. The low wind speed start up means power is almost continuously produced and certainly in the most typical conditions as well as being powerful in higher winds.
• Rutland 913 turbines are made from computer designed efficient aerofoil blades. They have a unique and positive one way only fit and have been tested to withstand a loading with a safety factor 10 times the turbine's maximum rpm.
• No radiated interference. Complies with EEC Directive 89/336/EEC.
