Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Our high performance, reliable WindMax wind turbine features advanced electromagnetic over speed control, aerodynamic blade speed limitation, solar/wind dual output capability, reliable light weight generator design using die-casting technique and high performance rare earth neodymium magnets, advanced airfoil designed blades made of mixed nylon and reinforced fiber glass using injection molding and thermoplastic technologies for consistency, high strength. HYenergy Windmax Wind Turbines are the one of the most well built, reliable, most efficient and cost-effective small wind turbines available on the market today. The HYenergy Wind turbine system is the perfect choice in a smart investment for a renewable energy solution built on advanced technologies. The HYenergy wind turbine system defines a new level of superior performance and reliability in the small wind turbine industry. Brushless, strong Neodymium magnet PMA, unique winding and multi pole design reduce the start-up torque of the alternator to assure the HYenergy wind turbine have great performance at low wind speed. Designed with both reliability and performance in mind, HYenergy Wind Turbines feature maintenance free design, high reliability and consistent performance. The result: greater energy production yield for all wind speeds and lowest ownership cost. A small home wind turbine is a long term investment. Windmax H series wind turbines lead the small wind turbine industry by eliminating problematic mechanical furling over speed control which requires a lot of maintenance and causes wind turbine failure. Windmax H series wind turbine improves the reliability and performance by advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator in high wind condition.

This review is from: Windmax HY400 500 Watt Max 12-Volt 5-Blade Residential Wind Generator Kit (Lawn & Patio)

This turbine is well built. All around one of the best I have tried for low wind's. There is a video on you tube with what this turbine look's like out of the box. Just search wind max turbine HY-400 on you tube. Power output is excellent for low wind. All around 5 star's. I am a electrician these can be a bit tricky to install and I suggest that you have a electrician wire them for you. The rest of the install can be fairly easy.

This review is from: Windmax HY400 500 Watt Max 12-Volt 5-Blade Residential Wind Generator Kit (Lawn & Patio)

I received this turbine in very good condition and fast. I will be setting it up as a hybrid system with my solar array of 350 watts. So my max output will now be 850 watts. I can not speak for the charge controller that comes with this turbine, because I will be using my xantrex c-60 controller instead, with a dump load hot water heater which is already in service. And yes, I did have to purchase a stop switch separately. But all in all, I think this will be a very nice addition to my system. It will cut my generator use considerably. I will also be mounting wind speed/weather station system on my turbine tower.

This review is from: Windmax HY400 500 Watt Max 12-Volt 5-Blade Residential Wind Generator Kit (Lawn & Patio)

Well I have given this some time before I wrote this review. I bought 2 of these charging a 10 12v battery bank which feeds my grid tie inverters. I live in North Texas so in my area I don't have a lot of wind. As soon as I released the brake the blades started turning and only stopped for 2 days out of the month. I'm also running 1000w of solar so on a nice cloudy day the turbines pick up the slack for charging my batteries. I am very pleased with my turbines and plan on buying 2 more which will give me a total of 4 along with my solar. Sorry electric company. I'm just tired of paying your high rates.
