| This is one of my dream possessions, a yacht that is. | | | | This is a more intelligent generator that has an onboard |
| If I get one I probably will install a yacht wind generator | | | | micro processor to improve all the functions including |
| to charge my onboard batteries. You know the | | | | overall performance, battery charging and the |
| modern yachts now carry a lot of electronic | | | | reduction of the annoying flatter noise that is common |
| equipment on board things like gps, radar and if you | | | | on most other brands. It also has a built in high wind |
| have autopilot that also needs power to run. If you are | | | | safe mode that automatically slows the generator |
| out on the sea you definitely can not stop and | | | | down in high winds as well as the auto brake system |
| recharge your batteries. You could have solar panels | | | | that stops the wind generator when the batteries |
| installed but what if there's no sun. What do you do | | | | become fully charged. It comes with a full marine |
| then? It makes sense then to have a marine wind | | | | tower kit for easy mounting on any sailboat. |
| generator installed on your yacht, so you can enjoy | | | | There's also the Ampair brand. They produce more |
| your ride to the fullest. Nowadays they now even | | | | heavy duty type marine wind generators. Their |
| have yacht wind generators that also double up as | | | | generators tend to be all weather proof make up |
| water generator which generates power by using the | | | | which includes a sealed design which does not allow |
| water to turn a propeller a the yacht moves. This is | | | | you any access into the units sensitive areas. You can |
| kind of like the old hydro electric plant design just on a | | | | get them in 3 different power outputs that is the |
| smaller scale. | | | | Ampair 600, Ampair 300, and Ampair 100 micro wind |
| One of the most popular such generator is the Duo | | | | turbine. There are other brands of yacht wind |
| Gen. They recently released the newer model Duo | | | | generators available on the market, but I thought I |
| Gen 2 which has some improvements on the older | | | | would just mention a few here to let you know that |
| version, mostly just stronger fixtures and installations to | | | | you do have a few choices to choose from. I guess |
| make it more durable and therefore last you many | | | | your decision will be based on where you are you are |
