The Rutland 504 Windcharger-3

Features & Benefits • • • • • Efficient power conversion – Rutland Windchargers generate greater ampere-hours in real wind conditions than turbines of equal and often larger diameter! That’s because between gusts, our unique high inertia alternator designs maintain momentum with a flywheel effect where other units stall. This adds up to more free power generated and stored for you. Rutland Windchargers are the lowest cost per watt of power generated. Not only is the generator efficient but volume production for our worldwide customers and in-house manufacturing here at Marlec ensures that we...
