New Gryphon wind generatorsIntroducing the
GRYPHON wind generators
— from the same Canadian folks that have brought us the marine-rated wind generator NPP450 Sprite now comes a line of tough, reliable wind generators, capable of powering your home, farm, boat or cabin (depending on your wind resource and power requirements). The Gryphon is a land-rated permanent magnet turbine which has good output in all wind conditions. It has few moving parts, so there is no need for periodic maintenance. Its larger blades and tail ensure better performance than similar rated turbines on the market; and these are exceptionally quiet through its entire operating range. Its superior wind tracking adds to its unparalleled efficiency. The Gryphon turbines come standard with a separate charge controller which handles 12V, 24V, 48V, and 240V up to 2600 watts; a three year manufacturer’s warranty completes this outstanding turbine.

Price: turbine & Controller $800 $1,400 $2,600 $5,000

The controller for these regulates the unrectified (‘wild’) AC output of the wind generators — and AC output means you don’t need heavy gauge wire between the wind generator and your batteries like with the low voltage DC units; the controller also has a built-in heat dump. The blades are complex resin fiberglass extruded technology; the turbine neck contains slip rings that spin 360 degrees.

The survival wind speeds of these units is 100 mph — but that is not much of an issue, as the furling tail just furls more and kicks out of the wind at high speeds (see power graph, below). These are not reverse-polarity protected on the battery side, so it’s important to wire them correctly...and, they ARE easy to wire. Also, replacement parts are available as needed for warranty purposes.

Call or e-mail us at 877-627-4768 or 4778 (info@oasismontana.com) if you need information on the lattice self-standing tower kits, which range from 40 ft. to 120 ft. tall and from $2400 to $13,500, before freight. While we endeavor to keep our prices as current as possible, in these times of rising metal prices, please call to confirm pricing as well as your freight costs.

We at Oasis Montana also offer products from Bergey Windpower Corporation (www.bergey.com) and Southwest Windpower (www.windenergy.com). You can download tech specs and manuals from these suppliers on their web pages— lots of information for your use. If you have average wind speeds of 10-12 mph or better, you will find that wind power is an excellent addition to fatten your batteries. You can find more information about wind power at www.awea.org and information on wind resources at either www.nrel.gov/wind or www.windpowermaps.org. If you don’t want a battery-based system, check out the Skystream on Southwest Windpower’s site, or the Excel 10 on Bergey Windpower’s web page, for your batteryless grid-tie wind generator options.
