HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine WT6500 Owner’s Manual - Rev 10
Introduction
Product Description
The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is a novel electric generator (Worldwide patents
pending). It consists, as shown in the product detailed schematic, of a central wheel
made of aluminum rim, stainless steel spokes, and aluminum hub. Two ceramic
bearings are used to attach this wheel to the center shaft of the turbine. Custom-
shaped glass-lled nylon blades are attached to the spokes of this wheel. Permanent
magnets are afxed to the tips of these blades at the rim of the wheel.
The wind ows through this wheel with ease and it interacts with the aerodynamically
designed blades to induce a rotational motion in the wheel around its center hub. This
rotational motion is THE indication that wind energy is being extracted from the owing
wind stream. The magnets travel at a much higher speed for any given wheel rotation
because they are located at the rim of the wheel. This placement of the permanent
magnets at the blade tips produces the needed high speed motion without the need
of any gearing mechanism. The elimination of gears in this wind turbine technology
enhances wind energy extraction efciency and prolongs its operating life.
The permanent magnets at the blade tips and wheel rim travel at high speed within a
novel and custom-built stator system. This stator system converts the motion of these
magnets into electricity. A glass-lled nylon aerodynamically shaped shroud covers the
stator system.
An anemometer is attached to the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine that produces near
instantaneous readings of wind speed and direction at the point of installation.
The electric output of the stator system is a variable direct current (DC) and is
connected together with the anemometer wind speed and direction outputs to the
HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment.
The SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment contains custom electronic battery charging
circuits, an inverter, and a transfer switch. The SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment
also employs a microprocessor which is programmed for optimal electric energy
extraction from the wind, battery charge management, and automatically controls the
transmission of electricity via the transfer switch from the Grid (switch board) or the
attached battery (Not included).
