At Hurricane Wind Power we take the hype and frankly the BS out of wind generator shopping. Not only do we have a superior product we have the best customer support. If you are new to alternative energy and considering buying you should read the last section whether you buy from me or not.Many of the wind turbines you see for sale on the internet look very similar. Housings look the same and it is very difficult to tell the difference from a picture on the internet. The difference is whats on the inside. At Hurricane Wind power we realize that to be cost effective your wind turbine will have to serve you for many years to come.
Our turbines are a little more expensive than some because we insist on better quality but we are the best value on the market. Depending on model and factory we ask German or Japanese bearings, better coatings, or hot dip galvanizing and every other upgrade that we find out it needs. This is why we are able to extend a 3 year warranty and our product is designed to last for 20 years

Features:- AlternatorThe Hurricane wind alternator is made with high quality, high strength permanent magnetic materials. It is lightweight and compact with high power generating capacity. Our wind alternator experts have used unique electromagnetic technology that results in very little starting resistance, thus effectively guaranteeing the easy startup of the Hurricane wind turbine even with gentle breezes. The Hurricane alternator is designed to provide efficient DC power with an electronic control system. The power capacity and start up performance have made this alternator one of the best alternators in the world.

TurbineThe Hurricane turbine’s main body is made of high-quality die cast aluminum alloy from a precision casting process and from stainless steel components. Thus it is lightweight yet extremely strong and has high reliability. Because of the precision casting process, wind turbine has a perfect shape. Moreover, the die cast aluminum alloy can work as a cooling system for the turbine, because it transfers heat into wind passing through the turbine. Furthermore, the wind turbine is easy to install and maintenance-free. Its unique design will help create a beautiful skyline while providing clean energy for you in sunny or windy weather.

BladesWind Turbine Technologies blades are made of fiberglass reinforced composite and are shaped through a high-precision casting process. Fiberglass is an extremely strong material that also has the advantage of stability and quiet operation. Fiberglass can endure severe weather and environments, such as storms and exposure to salt water and heat. Fiberglass itself is heat resistant and corrosion resistant. The material is used in the ship industry in boat frames, in Olympic sports as pool material, in the construction industry as support pillars for mansions, and as high-quality blades for wind turbines. Due to its high intensity strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance, fiberglass is a good choice for Blade materials for the hybrid solar wind generator system. WTT rotor blades are meticulously designed by experts in aerodynamics to have very low start up and incision points and very high wind energy utilizing ratio. Because of the aerodynamic quality of the blades, Rotor racing can be avoided in all circumstances.
The Charge Control 48V
NC25A Ultra High Efficiency 25 Ampere Solar and Wind System Charging System Controller
The NC25A-(X) is series regulator designed for alternative energy charging systems ranging in size from 0.1A to 25A. It is the ideal regulator for Solar (PV) and Permanent Magnet Generators (Including outboard motors and smaller wind generators). The NC25A also includes the Charge Divert feature. Charge Divert allows you to use the excess charging source energy for other tasks, or for placing a load on permanent magnet charging sources such as wind generators to prevent over speed conditions. The Divert connection is only activated after the charging source is making energy and the batteries are not using the energy (i.e. A wind generator will not be starting into the divert load). This controller can easily and inexpensively be expanded to handle one or more banks of 100A charging sources. (1000A max charging current in this configuration). Multiple battery banks can be charged with the use of a standard battery charging isolators.
Years prior to the sale of the first NC25A, the SES Flexcharge product development team took a hard look at what a new alternative energy charge controller's performance level would need to be to give the user the best possible controller for there needs. From that effort came the following design criteria;
Highest Possible . The NC25A holds a Patent for its innovative an efficient charging circuitry.
Most alternative energy charge controllers operate at an efficiency of 97%. Off hand, this sounds pretty good but lets go through the numbers for a typical charge controller.
Power Wasted = (Total Charging Current) x (100% - 96%) x (Typical Battery Voltage). P = 25A x 0.04 x 12.6V = 12.6W of wasted energy.
The NC25A operates at 99.5% typical charging efficiency. (99.9% at its best).
P = 25A x 0.005 x 12.6V = 1.57W
In comparing the numbers we see a 11 watt gain in charging energy that is available for your battery bank with the NC25A over the Typical Charge controller.
New to wind power? Read me before you buy it may save you getting ripped off!
- The above happens a lot but particularly wirh Dc Motor and "reworked delco alternators " that claim 1000 watt output, however if you go on to look at the graph the 1000 watts is at 5000 rpm. Those of you new to wind power should realize that most applications are direct drive meaning not using gearing. Your turbine will more likely spin at 800 RPM in high wind not 5000. On the multi 9-12 blade systems especially. Why consider power you will never really see when considering a wind motor
- The majority of DC motors seen here on e bay and other sites were never intended to be used as wind turbines. Many of them will simply burn up because the windings are too small. A huge majority sold on here will not charge even a 12V system. Most DC motors are advertised by doing the "MATH" example 130V X 12 Amps = 1560 watts. They fail to disclose or take advantage of the fact many consumers are not aware of first that fails to recognize it is not 100 percent efficiency. Power curves are not linear and most important the output would be at the motors rated RPM. In may cases 6000 -10000 RPM. In the example 6000 RPM / 130V = 46 RPM per Volt X 14 =644RPM. In other words your wind turbine would charge a 12 volt system barley in high wind. Currently there is a 6$ surplus dc motor painted white that sells for about 100 $ that has such a low amp rating it would make a better paper weight than wind motor. It will not charge a 12 volt battery bank direct drive period and it will not put out 60 watts much less 600
- We do not advertise based on just meters /per second as many customer have no idea what that coverts too
- We do not advertise a 600 watt wind turbine that you have to read closely or get burned realizing that the 600 watts is only if you add solar panels that are sold separately
- We do not sell devices without blades claiming one output but when the motor doesn't perform claim it must be something in your bad rotor configuration
- We do not buy container loads of garbage with the cheapest components available in china then try to market it as a quality product
- We do not stat boost the output of our products or make misleading graphs.
- We do not advertise open voltage ratings which have nothing to do with how much power you wind generator will put into a battery under a load that therefore equates to real world power
Personally things like this annoy me because many customers who are trying wind products for the first time are turned off when they get burned and never come back to it. If you believe in the overall goals of renewable energy this will make you very annoyed. Secondly it puts me in an awkward position trying to support my grid tied product trying to explain to a customer that the 1000 watt grid tie he bought from me will not be needed as the piece of junk he just bought will not put out 250 watts. How do you explain that in a nice way?
