Wind Mode- The Aquair 100 can also be used as a windturbine when
at anchor or in harbour. Using a “ropeonly”, hoist-in-the-rigging
system (HIR). A halyard liftsthe Aquair 100 away from busy cockpit
into clear air. Nonoise or vibration to worry about! A pole mount
optionis available for yachts with stern gantry or similar. A
short pole is welded, clamped etc. to an existingstructure. A
single electrical connection then serveswind and water modes.
Water Mode- The Aquair 100 is designed for yachtscruising at
4-15 kts. The standard pitch turbinesurfaces at 7kts and skips at
higher speeds, so acoarse pitch turbine is used on yachts which
sail at8-12 kts. At 7kts the turbines drag is 17 lbs: it will
notnoticeably slow the yacht . The standard stainless steel
gimbal ring mounting provides a simple and automaticalignment
method and can be rigged into the push-pitor mounted in the
optional frame for boats without apush-pit.The shaft connector is
designed to break to save thegenerator and push pit if the turbine
becomes trapped.
The Aquair 100 water turbine has been designedspecically for
charging batteries over long distance
crossings and converts to a wind turbine at anchor.High
reliability – designed to deliver constantbattery charging power
over long distancecrossings and endure harsh deep sea
conditions.Fit and forget – self-aligns in the water and will
notnoticeably slow the yacht.Small - does not take up deck
space
Build quality- built with Ampair’s world renownedmarine grade
build quality with four decades ofcontinual design
improvement.Unobtrusive - easy mounting in water mode andhoists
high-up at anchorDependable - will not burn out at any
speed

Power Regulation - The Aquair 100 can be used withouta
regulator in water mode. If you prefer autonomy andwill also use
the turbine in wind mode, any of the 100series regulators can be
used
