Description: GreenergyStar Apollo 5000W AC 12V /24V Wind Turbine for Land or Marine Use Product designed in Canada Introduction Over the last few decades renewable energy has started to gain its ground. Of all the different kinds of alternative energy sources available, the use of wind power has been growing steadily. However, wind turbines that are available for homeowners in the market today are mostly designed (or copied) a decade ago and although they work, most have mechanical flaws that were neglected since their debut and there is a lot of room for improvements. With that in mind, we have redesigned a new wind turbine - the Apollo. Built-in with a stronger alternator for higher power output, Anti-vibration system to increase power efficiency, and the ability to be customized and upgraded for the future. Exploded View (No inverter, batteries, turbines and solar panels included in this listing) only the highlight parts are included. No nose cone, and tail.

What is the difference in an Apollo Wind Turbine? GreenergyStar's Apollo Wind Turbine is the most mechanically advanced generator in the market today. It features many upgrades that solves performance issues that our competitors struggle with. It is designed to work with other GreenergyStar branded products such as the SolarWind Hybrid RX charge controller and grid tie inverters to better utilize the renewable energy generated. The following list will summarize its major features: I. Performance Curves The above battery charging power curve is obtained from charging a 12V 200Ah battery bank with our SolarWind Hybrid Charge Controller. (not included in this listing) Slip Ring For those who are serious about wind power generation, this is a must have item. Never again will the cable get twisted up. Never again will you have to climb up the ladder and fix the tangles. Get a slip ring today and you can put all of that behind you. Slip Ring Specification: Circuits 3 Voltage 380VAC Maximum Current 75A X3 Rated Current 50A X3 Working Speed 250RPM Temperature -40'C to 100'C Wire Gauge 6AWG Number of bearings 2 Thread M22x1.5 22mm diameter 1.5mm Thread Pitch Features: - High voltage / current carrying capacity - Copper-graphite brushes ensure long life even under extreme load conditions - Quick connector for fast connection to the AC / wind turbine *see reference picture below* - Insulated with fiberglass sleeves to protect wires to the wind turbine and make the installation professional and tidy - Easily taken apart for quick maintenance - 2x High Quality Metal Sealed Ball bearing to stabilize axle Exploded View Connection Overview As we can see from the exploded view, the top circuit is color coded Red, the middle circuit is Black and the bottom circuit is Blue. Rotor Apollo True Power 5000w Competitor's 400w-5200w Pros - Larger diameter, thicker core - The cross-sectional area of the coil is larger, so the magnetic flux is larger and the efficiency is greater. Core area = 26 x 12 = 312 mm2 Cons - only 12mm thickness and thus weaker magnetic flux - cross-sectional area of the coil is small and electricity output is lower Core area = 12 x 5 = 60 mm2 Apollo True Power 5000w Competitor's 400w-5200w Pros - The area of magnets are 40 x 24 mm , total 18 pieces. More electricity can be generated. Cons - The area of magnets are 12 x 16 mm , total 12 pieces. Less electricity can be generated. Apollo True Power 5000w Competitor's 400w-5200w Pros Wire diameter 1.3 = 1.3266mm2 . Temperature 20 °C max current 15.5393 x 3 = 46.61A. Cons Wire diameter 0.5 = 0.196mm2 . Temperature 20 °C max current 0.8683 x 3 = 2.604A. Specification Rotor Diameter 155mm Magnet Material Strong Ferrite magnets Number of Magnets 18 Magnet Width (Rotor thickness) 40mm Weight 3.26kg II. Anti-Vibration System Horizontal Pros - Dual Metal ball bearing located at front and rear of rotor - 6.5cm of stabilizing distance to prevent rotor and blades from vibrating - No vibration = Increase in efficiency - Reduction in noise output Cons - 2 bearings placed side by side together - Stabilizing distance effectively shorten to 2cm (69% reduction) - Vibration = Energy wasted - Wasted energy gets converted to Noise and Heat Vertical Pros - Triple Metal ball bearing to prevent vertical vibration - Yaw shaft diameter: 40mm - 3cm of stabilizing distance with 2 bearings - No vibration = Increase in efficiency - Reduction in noise output - One piece design Yaw body provides more stability Cons - Single bearings will not eliminate vertical vibration - Yaw shaft diameter: 35mm - Stabilizing distance effectively shorten to 1.4cm with one bearing (53% reduction) - Vibration will cause bearing to grind on yaw shaft and create a bigger play, which in turn will cause more vibration in a never ending cycle - 2 pieces design Yaw body is less stable IV.

Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The blades may be moving at velocities over 275 miles per hour (440 km/hr). At this speed, the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances should you install the turbine where a person could come in contact with moving rotor blades. The installer of these blades is solely responsible for the use or misuse of these blades. We assume no liability for ANY injuries caused by these products Warranty: We will warrant this unit against any manufacture defects or workmanship for 1 year from the date of purchase.
