Tens of thousands of the
original 910 series Rutland have been
sold world wide, we’ve even licensed
it’s manufacture in overseas developing
countries because it’s such a versatile
windcharger. It can be used in almost
any location, it’s simple to install
and as our thousands of satisfied customers
can confirm this unit just keeps on
going year after year! For an independent
view 'What the
papers say'
The Furlmatic FM910-3
is Marlec’s purpose designed land based
windcharger. Wherever there is a site
that is unattended, remote and exposed
the FM910-3 can be relied on to deliver
power quietly and efficiently. Professional
applications such as monitoring, telemetry,
communications, isolated agricultural
sites, navigation aids, military field
applications, rural street lighting
and remote homes or year round mobile
home installations are all established
uses for the FM910-3.
The Furlmatic model’s
“furling” device that tilts the turbine
horizontally at right angles to the
prevailing wind at windspeeds above
35mph (15m/s) This protects the turbine
from the forces of excessive winds and
reduces stresses on the turbine and
tower. The original Furlmatic model
has undergone a number of product improvements
over the years and here are some of
the latest:
| ·
Increased power achieved through
the 3 phase alternator, 80% more
power than the original model! |
|
· Tail boom and swivel materials
now in stainless steel for greater
durability |
| ·
Thermostatic alternator protection
now operates to slow the turbine
down in prolonged high winds. |
|
· Fixing to the tower is
now a spigot that fits to an internal
diameter pole of 41mm in line with
the Rutland 913 and this component
is distinctively blue anodised to
prevent oxidisation with the pole.
|
It retains its basic design
which has been proven time and again
in the harshest of environments under
critical power supply requirements eg.
seismic monitoring in Antarctica, communications
for Himalayan expeditions.
