Description
Whisper, a name with more than 10 years of experience in the field, has been
re-engineered and launched under the Southwest Windpower family of wind turbines.
The Whisper has an all-new look featuring a cast aluminum frame and smooth,
quiet operation of the patented "angle-governor" furling design.
Whisper 175 - The most powerful wind turbine in our lineup
The 3000-watt rated turbine will deliver in excess of 500 KWH per month in
a 12 mph wind. This machine has a 14-foot (4.26m) rotor diameter providing 175
sq. ft. of swept area. The 175 has been redesigned, incorporating a stronger,
larger yaw shaft, new blade stabilizer straps and a third spindle bearing for
increased reliability.
The 175 features a handlade fiberglass and foam core blade for smooth, high
efficiency operation and low wind start-up. It also incorporates the patented
"angle governor" design for quiet operation in high winds. The 175
is an excellent machine for village power projects, farms, ranches, back-up
power and remote homes with large energy demands.
