AIR 403 Land The new AIR 403 improves on the revolutionary features of the original wind module. The stronger all carbon fibre reinforced blades and advanced airfoils achieve higher output and reduced noise. The passive-pitch speed-control system still has no moving parts. The new alternator and more efficient windings enable the new 403 to deliver 400 watts at 28 mph and 20 kWh per month in a 9 mph average wind speed. The state-of-the-art internal circuitry still incorporates safety features only possible with integrated electronics control and is now so intelligent it automatically slows the blade rotation to a silent spin once the storage batteries are charged, then automatically restarts when the batteries need power.

A new tooling and manufacturing process provides the highest quality turbine at the best price. The 13 lbs. AIR 403 is modular to grow with your power needs, simple to install and requires no maintenance. AIR 403 Land comes in a natural cast aluminium housing and suitable for most general applications.

Maintenance-free performance, easy installation and high output make AIR ideal for all applications.

The AIR wind module is engineered to be mounted on a rooftop, no tower required. AIR can be used in combination with photovoltaic modules and/or multiple AIR modules can be installed to meet your power needs. Five wind modules will provide a 1.5 kilowatt rating (2.0+ kilowatt peak).

AIR is the number one selling battery charging wind turbine in the world. AIR brings together advanced brushless alternator technology, state-of the-art blades, and exclusive built-in regulation in an elegant die-cast aluminium body.

BLADES: The AIR's blades are made of carbon fibre reinforced composite that twists as the turbine reaches its rated output. This twisting effect changes the shape of the blade, causing it to go into stall mode. This limits the RPM of the alternator, preventing damage in high winds.

The new AIR 403 Industrial is designed for sustained high wind conditions and improves on the revolutionary features of the original wind module. The stronger all carbon fibber reinforced blades and advanced airfoils achieve higher output and reduced noise. The passive-pitch speed-control system still has no moving parts. The new alternator and more efficient windings enable the new 403 to deliver 400 watts at 28 mph and 20 kWh per month in a 9 mph average wind speed. The state-of-the-art internal circuitry still incorporates safety features only possible with integrated electronics control and is now so intelligent it automatically slows the blade rotation to a silent spin once the storage batteries are charged, then automatically restarts when the batteries need power.

ALTERNATOR: The AIR's alternator is optimised to match as close as possible the energy available in the wind. It is constructed with Neodymium Iron Boron permanent magnets and is brushless for superior performance and maintenance-free operation.

REGULATION & CONTROL ELECTRONICS: The electronics performs several functions to assure maximum output and safety for the user. The control electronics maintains a load on the alternator at all times to make sure that the turbine never over speeds, regardless of the condition of the battery. As the battery is charged, the sophisticated regulator periodically checks the line, correcting for voltage loss and monitoring charge rate. Once the battery has reached its optimum charge level the regulator shuts the current off, preventing the battery from being overcharged while maintaining a load on the alternator at all times to prevent over speeding.The built-in charge controller or "smart regulator " as it is called, senses the voltage at the battery, automatically raising the line voltage to compensate for line loss and then tapering the charge to trickle when batteries are charged.

In less than three years, over 8,000 AIR marine and AIR wind modules have been sold, making it the number one selling turbine in the world.
