LE-v50
LE-v50
The LE-v50 is a vertical axis wind turbine designed for trickle charging marine batteries and powering low power electronic devices. It is compact, silent, and lightweight, making it suitable for installations where space is limited. The turbine is available in 12V, 24V, or 48V configurations.
Key Features
- Silent operation with noise levels below background noise.
- Compact and lightweight design for easy installation.
- Reliable and precision-engineered in the UK.
- Rugged construction capable of surviving gusts up to 60 mph (27 m/s).
- Marine quality finish with high-quality components.

Performance and Design
The LE-v50 utilizes a 'Savonious' rotor design for silent and effective performance. It features a cross-ventilated rotor for efficient power conversion and a low inertia, zero 'cogging' axial flux permanent magnet alternator using Neodymium rare earth magnets.
Applications
- Data logging
- Telemetry
- Security systems
- LED lighting systems
- Data communications
- Environmental monitoring
Safety and Installation
The turbine can run 'off-load' without battery connection, and its rotor design limits RPM automatically. Safety features prevent damage if objects come into contact with the blades, making it ideal for installations in populated areas.
