The Rutland FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger

Take advantage of the abundant power of the wind to generate your own free power using the Rutland FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger. The FM1803-2 needs only a light breeze to start generating power for charging batteries so you have the convenience of energy stored for whenever you need it.

Features and Benefits:

• New 3 bladed turbine design combines an efficient profile with a durable injection moulded construction.
• The 3 phase generator has a very low torque enabling power generation to start from just 3m/s (<7mph) windspeed.
• Rutland unique disc type brushless generator design has a high degree of nertia that keeps the turbine spinning between gusts of wind where other designs stop and start. As such th FM1803-2 delivers more power into a battery over a given period than all other commercial turbines of the same diameter that we know of and even some larger turbines.
• Sliprings at the tower top allow the turbine freedom to find the wind over 360° rotation.
• AC power is generated and transmitted to the controller. As the AC is generated at high voltage power losses are low allowing small cable to be used, minimising installation costs.
• Marlec's well established furling tail system is used on the FM1803-2. The tail normally directs the turbine into wind but a simple gravity induced mechanism operates at 15m/s (35mph) to push the turbine off wind thus reducing it's speed. This provides protection from the forces exerted on the turbine and tower in very high winds and assures longevity of the product.
• MPC1 Controller incorporates 4 key features; 3 phase transformer to reduce voltage, a rectifier to convert AC to DC an electronic controller and battery overcharge protection.
