SOUTHWEST WINDPOWER AIR X 403 is a revolutionary modular wind turbine. Now wind power can be captured as simply as solar power. Priced about the same as a photovoltaic module, AIR produces more than five times the peak power of a panel's rated output, depending on wind resources.  Maintenance-free performance, easy installation and high output make AIR ideal for all applications. The use of multiple units is common, rather than one larger (other brand) wind generator.  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.      Be sure to also see the wind generator comparison data at the bottom of this page for more details about the Air 403 performance or Quick-scroll now to view comparison data.

AIR Applications include:

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 aluminum body.

BLADES: The AIR's 3-blades are made of carbon fiber 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.

ALTERNATOR: The AIR's alternator is optimized 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.

More about the AIR X 403...

The new AIR 403 improves on the revolutionary features of the original wind module. The stronger all carbon fiber 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 only a 9 mph average wind speed.

The state-of-the-art internal circuitry still incorporates safety features only possible with internal control and is now so intelligent it automatically slows the blades to a silent spin once the batteries are charged, then automatically restarts when the batteries need power.

Southwest Windpower’s new tooling provides the highest quality turbine. The 13 lbs. AIR 403 is modular to grow with your power needs, easy to add more than one unit to your system, simple to install and requires no maintenance.
