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.

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:

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 mm
2
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 mm

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

WARNING !!!
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. This limited warranty specifically excludes damage caused by
improper installation, accident, misuse
,
abuse
,
improper
storage
, or
any unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification
.This warranty is not transferable. In the event of a claim against this warranty, the seller's obligation, and the claimant's sole remedy, shall be replacement of the product, repair, or refund of the original purchase price excluding any shipping and handling fees. All shipping and handling fees going both ways are responsible by the buyer.
