The Rutland FM910-3 Furlmatic Windcharger

Rutland Windchargers simply convert the free and abundant power in the wind to power stored in your batteries. The 12V power is ready to use for engine starting, lights, coolers, essential navigation equipment and other low energy appliances. With a Rutland 503 installed on board weekend sailors will experience the convenience of fully charged batteries for engine starting.

Features and Benefits:

• Efficient power conversion
• Rutland Windchargers generate greater ampere hours in real wind conditions than turbines of equal and often larger diameter! This is because our unique high inertia alternator designs maintain momentum between gusts unlike other designs that stall and have to rebuild up speed. This Rutland "flywheel" action results in more free power generated into your battery.
• Rutland Windchargers are the lowest cost per watt of power generated owing to our many in-house manufacturing efficiencies and volume of production for our worldwide customers.
• More ampere hours are generated because of the Rutlands' low wind speeds start up (of just 2.6 m/s) so power is being generated in the most typical wind speeds as well as being powerful in the strong winds.
• Automatic 'furling' tail fin directs turbine out of wind above 16 m/s for gale protection.
• Our low friction 3 phase alternators give a smooth and silent output.
