The PacWind Alpha Series, which includes the 500w Seahawk and the 5kw Aeolian, are truly ideal for low to moderate wind conditions, but are also indestructible in high winds 100+. The Seahawk is ideal for homes, small commercial buildings, boats, remote power, emergency power, and battery charging. The Seahawk Tower design incorporates 2 to 5 units stacked, with optional solar power. The Aeolian is ideal for homes, commercial and industrial buildings, irrigation/water wells, remote power, and grid tie power generation. The Aeolian Tower design incorporates 2 to 5 units stacked, also with optional solar.
The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) converts wind energy to electrical power. The VAWT is an omni-directional low wind-speed generator that may be easily installed practically anywhere with good wind exposure. The VAWT is seen as a solid object as the rotational speed increases, making it visible to birds. The VAWT has a 3-phase A.C electrical power connection and 3-phase rectifier.

Power Generator Description
The VAWT converts wind energy to electrical energy. The wind pressure (associated with wind speed) on the cage blades cause the cage structure to rotate. The magnetic field movement across wire-coils produces current flow and an associated voltage.
The typical wind-speed to power conversion is shown in the subsequent graph. Note: wind pressure varies with atmospheric pressure, altitude, and air particulate composition. All PacWind VAWT products are covered by U.S. Patent # US 7.109,599 B2 and Patents Pending.
