Silentwind 400 Wind Generator 12V

A new generation of wind turbine with silent power blades

Wind generators are a practical and effective investment. When the wind blows at anything more than 8 knots you will simply have all the power you need. It's possible to greatly reduce or even completely eliminate engine running for charging purposes in a yacht to achieve reduced engine hours and save valuable fuel when on a long voyage.

The Silentwind 400 Wind Generator is the result of Silentwind's continuous improvement process. This generator has higher efficiency due to its earlier charging start-up. It also features faster wind tracking and stable operating performance due to an enlarged wind-deflector. The Silentwind 400 Wind Generator has an additional body bearing for a more precise guidance of the wind generator and smoother operating. The new generator has reinforced mast support for higher safety reserves under strong winds.
