Front Way
Side Way
Sample Installation, please refer to description below for actual generator
Install Diagram:
foot mount NOT included
Installation:
1. Mount Adapter to the PMA's 17mm shaft and secure with the 2 included setscrews.
2.
Mount Pelton Water Wheel to the Adapter and secure with the 4 included M5 screws.
Installation:
1. Mount to a generator with 20mm shaft, an arbor / adapter might be required
2.
Some of our WindZilla generators have high torque which are suitble for micro hydro electric generation, if you want to fit this wheel into one of those, we have a 20mm to 17mm adapter that is sold sparately.

20mm to 17mm Adapter /Arbor designed to secure the Pelton Water Wheel onto a PMA (Permanent Magnet Alternator) with 17mm shaft. The adapter is CNC machined and is made of aluminum for higher durability and corrosion resistance.


Introduction
This auction is for one WindZilla Permanent Magnet Generator. It is the major component in a small wind / hydro electric generation system. This generator is perfect for enthusiast who are interested in a DIY Wind Turbine Project.

Open Circuit Voltage, Reach 12V at 540RPM

The above battery charging power curve is obtained from charging a 12V 88Ah battery bank with our SolarWind Hybrid Charge Controller.

We have seen there are generators out there that hits 12V as few as 150 RPM. However, the amp output will not be impressive because in order to ramp up the voltage, thin wires must be used in the winding of the alternator which will impact the output in strong wind. As a consumer, this is a trade off that you have to decide. Our motors are built with a heavier focus on amp output and therefore it will reach 12V at: 540RPM
Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.
