the aerogen 4 wind turbine 
This is an independent review we have compiled for your reference. Feel free to add your comments or experiences at the bottom of the page.

Although the Aerogen 4 can be used on yachts and cruisers, this small turbine is more suited to land applications than its close relative the Aerogen 2. It is typically used for street lighting, remote telemetry and data loggers, or could make a small contribution to charging batteries for remote properties or on mobile homes or caravans.

The graph below shows the typical power produced (in Watts) for the Aerogen 4 at different wind speeds. A small, lightweight turbine with limited power outputs, but probably enough to keep a small battery topped up.

wind turbine blade diameterBlade diameter is an important thing to look at when comparing turbines, since it affects how much power can be captured from the wind. This turbine has a blade diameter of 0.87 metres.
