Description
The FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger is a powerful battery charging turbine that is perfect for off-grid homes, farm buildings, telemetry stations, telecom sites, radio/TV transmitter stations, security camera systems, rural clinics, expeditions, military field applications, poultry sheds and many more situations where power is needed at isolated places.
The FM1803-2 Furlmatic can be used “stand-alone” or in conjunction with solar panels and/or a diesel generator to create your own complete power system. You can use the power at low voltage, 12V or 24V, or connect an inverter to the battery bank to deliver 230V grid type power enabling you to run many typical household appliances. The possibilities are endless, even if you have grid power an FM1803-2 can reduce your dependence on the grid and unlike grid-connect wind turbines this system ensures that if there’s a power cut you will still have independent power for some essentials.
Rutland has a policy and culture of continuous improvement and so the current model is the 3rd generation of our 1.8m diameter turbine since it’s launch in 1988. Improvements adopted over the lifetime have been:
- Power production at 10m/s (22mph) increase from 250W to 340W, that’s nearly a 40% power increase
- Shape and styling have developed at each generation, the latest 3 bladed design is super smooth
- Aerofoil blades that have been adapted and improved
- Rutland’s turbine designs are extremely efficient. They achieve energy conversion factors at around the theoretical limit across the wide range of windspeeds.
All our products are built and tested to the highest standards and our commitment to this was demonstrated when we became the first small wind turbine manufacturer in the world to achieve ISO 9001 status over 10 years ago.
