Aquair U.W. water powered generator
Hydro:
Aquair U.W. water powered generator.
When positioned in a stream or tidal flow that flows at 15kph (slow jog), the Aquair UW
produces 8 amps at 12v continuously. This represents enough power to supply a typical
remote home, independent of the mains supply. Even a stream flowing at 10 kph will produce
1.5 Kilowatt's per day and this output can be increased by using a 'venturi' to further
speed water flow.
The Aquair UW is a submerged water powered generator for 12/24 battery charging. It is a
self-contained unit, (on-shaft propeller, streamlined housing, sealed alternator with
pressure relief chamber), operating to depths of 10m. It has a cut-in speed of 1.5 knots
and a high charge rate of 8 amps.
The forward facing 3 bladed propeller drives a permanent magnet alternator producing up to
8 amps at 12V
The shaft rotates in double seals for optimum protection, backed by twin 'O' ring static
seals at the rear of the casing.
The cable exit is similarly sealed by an internal moulding and external gland.
The alternator body is filled with hydraulic fluid to eliminate corrosion and to equalise
pressure changes.
Weight: 10 KG.
Price: £534.60 ex VAT and delivery.
