On most boats, the engine alternator is the primary source of power. Wind or water driven alternators
are an excellent supplementary power source. These systems are based on the Ampair wind turbines and the Aquair wind and water
generator. Ampair wind and water driven alternators are state-of-the-art products designed to supply the most power for the
least trouble and expense. They are durable, lightweight, simple to install and completely quiet and free of vibration. Best
of all they quietly go about their business of charging your batteries. Your choice of wind and water turbines should be determined
by the way you plan to cruise and your itinerary. Unless you plan to be at sea for long periods, you'll probably be happier
with a permanently mounted wind driven Ampair 300. If your planning long passages, you may prefer the Aquair 100 Hybrid Water
and Wind generator.
The
predecessor to the Ampair 300 and still going strong is the Ampair 100. For lower power requirements (50-100 amp hours per
day) it is by far the most durable, reliable, quiet and vibration-free marine wind turbine ever produced. I've had
customers go through hurricanes with the Ampair 100 remaining in tact and without being tied down. It never needs to be battened
or shut down. The Ampair will not throw a blade in even the most extreme wind. This is truly a worry-free, troube-free power
generation device.
