Mallard LW 600 Watt
The Mallard LW will start charging with 4 watts at around 5MPH. The power very quickly picks up as the wind speeds increase. Using the methods that wind generators are rated this system produces over 900 watts at 35MPH winds. Amps to batteries at 35MPH is 9.5 amps, at 45MPH it is 11amps. It is made to stay facing the wind, instead of turning out, so will continue to produce great power even during storms. Contact us for detailed production stats.
The Mallard LW is built with the same sturdy construction as our Mallard 800E but is specifically designed for areas with lower winds than our 800E. Use in areas with wind speeds of 5-60MPH. It outperforms the 800E in winds up to 25MPH. It will continue to charge in higher winds also. The construction of the Mallard LW also makes it quieter, which will make your neighbors happy. Mike has designed this 3 aluminum blade system to work in lower wind speeds. These blades have a span of 5 foot. The base of each blade is 9 ". These blades catch lower winds than the narrower carbon fiber blades that are on our 800E. The Mallard LW is best in areas with winds speeds of 5-25MPH and the 800E is best for areas that often get winds over 25MPH. The Mallard LW contains a powerful magnet to produce great power. 10MPH winds push the blades to start turning. Once this unit is going it will continue to turn in winds as low as 5MPH.
One of the advantages of the aluminum blades that we use on the Mallard LW is that they are much quieter than the carbon fiber blades. This is very useful in areas where you have close neighbors. The aluminum blades make the Mallard LW neighbor friendly.
We have tested these blades to temperatures as low as 0*F.
The Mallard LW is available with a 12 volt stator or a 24 volt stator. If you are using a 12 volt battery system Mike recommends using the Mallard LW with 24 volt stator in lower wind areas. This way, at the lower speeds of 5-10MPH you will still have charging voltage. If you have winds of 15 MPH plus most of the time let us know and we will send it to you with the 12 volt stator for higher amperage but it will take around 12 MPH winds before it will reach charging voltage. You can also use the Mallard LW with 24 volt stator to charge your 24 volt battery bank. It will take around 12 MPH winds to reach charging voltage. The Mallard LW will produce more power than the Mallard 800E until about 35MPH winds at which point the Mallard 800E will produce more power than the Mallard LW.
