Energy Management System
The SmartBox Control System incorporates a proprietary control system that is specifically designed to capture the most efficient power from wind at its unpredictable patterns and dynamics. It functions as a sophisticated energy management system and also provides a simple and seamless interconnection to the grid. The WindTronics Wind Turbine and the SmartBox offers cutting-edge turbine technology to the individual, enabling each to harness, utilize and
manage the energy at their local wind zone. The SmartBox is the control system that consists of a charge controller and a non-grid tie 1.5 kW inverter. Included within the charge controller is an automatic AC transfer switch that will automatically switch between your AC grid and power generated via the turbine. The WindTronics Wind Turbine works seamlessly with grid tie or DC Charge controllers. Refer to items A through D on prior page under Connection Options.

Introducing a breakthrough wind energy system for home and business
The WindTronics Wind Turbine is a gearless wind turbine that measures just 6 feet (1.8 m) in diameter, weighs 241 lbs (110 kgs) and produces on average 1500 kWh per year depending on height and location. The WindTronics Wind Turbines BTPS perimeter power system and unique design of multistage blades allows the system to react quickly to changes in wind speed. This ensures that the maximum wind energy is captured without the typical noise and vibration associated with traditional wind turbines. The WindTronics Wind Turbine has an increased operating span over traditional turbines with a start-up speed as low as 0.5 mph (0.2 m/s), with an auto shut off at 38 mph (17.0 m/s), traditional gearbox turbines require minimum wind speeds of 7.5 mph (3.5 m/s) to cut in and start generating power. The WindTronics Wind Turbine is designed to be installed by a licensed electrician wherever energy is consumed, turning homes and businesses from points of total consumption to distributed energy sources, in a cost effective and efficient manner.

Gearless Blade Tip Power System the future of wind power
The innovative Blade Tip Power System (BTPS) is the patented technology created by WindTronicsTM. The WindTronics Wind Turbine utilizes a system of magnets and stators surrounding its outer ring capturing power at the blade tips where speed is greatest, practically eliminating mechanical resistance and drag. Rather than forcing the available wind to turn a generator, the perimeter power system becomes the generator by swiftly passing the blade tip magnets through the copper coil banks mounted onto the enclosed perimeter frame. The Blade Tip Power System addresses past constraints such as size, noise, vibration and output. The enclosed perimeter shrouds the system and is more distinguishable to wildlife. WindTronics proprietary systems are breaking traditional technological barriers across multiple markets, for homes and businesses, for both energy generation and energy recapture even in moderate winds.

Turbine Technology Comparison
Traditional Wind Turbine VS Blade Tip Power System
Directional Fins & Braking
The directional fins continuously guide the turbine for maximum wind exposure. The system starts turning at 0.5 mph (0.2 m/s), automatically shuts down in high winds (+38 mph [+17.0 m/s]) through its electromagnetic braking system and is designed to withstand winds up to 140 mph (62.6 m/s).
FAQs
Many factors will affect the output of the turbine at each location depending on placement. Your location can be affected by trees, terrain and obstructions such as buildings next door, even placement on one end of a building or the other can affect the output. Correct site assessment is important to enhance the performance of your turbine regardless of your product choice. Always seek the highest elevation and lowest obstruction field as possible

(33 feet (10.0 m) minimum, the higher the better). You may advise your city, town or neighbors that youre installing a new generation wind turbine, but at 241 lbs (110 kgs), 6 feet (1.8 m), 35 dB at 10 feet (3.1 m), it may be not necessary. Were here to help you. An average annual wind rating of 12 mph (5.4 m/s) is recommended as a good minimum wind speed to keep in mind, off grid locations might consider less. The WindTronics Wind Turbine is designed for all environments from hot to cold temperatures and from coastal locations to mountaintops. Electrical connection is very similar to a backup generator connected to the building or solar power to the grid. Refer to connection options A through D.
The system is designed to be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. Our Smart Swap warranty program allows contractors to replace components easily. The roof box QuadPod system is designed for pitched or flat roof tops. As roof construction and roof lines vary, pole mounted installations are recommended for residential environments for optimal cost, flexibility and performance.
