Leading Edge - Model LE-v50 - Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Brochure

Our LE-v50 vertical axis wind turbine is a compact, silent and lightweight turbine designed to trickle charge your batteries or for low power electronic devices such as data-loggers, radio and telemetry equipment. The vertical axis design is able to work effectively in challenging conditions  compared with a horizontal axis turbine, read this article in Energy Engineering magazine. The LE-v50 wind turbine was originally designed to provide power for industrial data monitoring equipment in the most extreme & remote places where there is no other power source.  It can be found supplementing Solar PV panels in ‘off-grid’ renewable energy systems and powering LED street lights and other lighting systems. The LE-v50 wind turbine is also a regular sight at marinas providing a trickle charge to valuable batteries whilst the owners are away. This saves money by not having to connect to ‘shore power’ or repair and replace expensive batteries that have been damaged by becoming discharged. It reduces the effects of mains induced electrolysis and corrosion on the boat as well as meaning that owners can go on extended cruises without need to run the engine.
