Windside Information

3. The Windside is designed and built for survival and operation in the extremes of climate. Temperatures from -40°C to + 40°C and beyond. Certain models are guaranteed at continuous wind speeds of 60 m/s (135 mph, 216 km/h). Windside turbines are used in offshore and marine applications, in mountainous regions, in deserts and in both the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. 4. The Windside is designed and built to last. Windside strive to build a turbine that if installed correctly and maintained will deliver trouble free service for the lifetime of the project it was bought for and beyond. 5. The Windside is designed to maximise the conversion of the kinetic energy in the wind at all wind speeds. Depending on the Windside model and the electrical configuration this can be from wind speeds as low as 2 m/s and from wind speeds as high as 60 m/s. The energy from turbulent wind is also harnessed as the double helix form of the Windside mean that the wind is always at the right angle to the turbine vanes. 6. The Windside is an ideal partner to solar PV in providing energy solutions for systems and instruments in remote environments. 7. The Windside is effectively quiet in operation. Studies by universities in Finland and Italy record less than 2 dB at a point 2 m from the turbine vanes. 8. The Windside remains a visible object when rotating at high wind speeds. This combined with its shape mean it is not a threat to birds. 9. The reason for buying a Windside by the professional user groups could be summed up thus: " The true cost of something is not what you pay to acquire it, but what you pay to put it right when it fails. The Windside is built for those who can't afford to fail. 10. The Windside is an ideal turbine for use in "Wind Art" and "Architectural Projects" on buildings in public open spaces and urban environments.
