Hi Drake,<br>
<br>
The Air 403/ Air-X/ Air Breeze/ whatever it's name is now, is fairly
dependable.<br>
In most wind regimes it's the equivalent of a 10 or 20 watt solar
module but<br>
seems to work just fine. FYI- it's ~ 200 watts or so.<br>
<br>
It's not the quietest thing though, being a fairly high rpm turbine.<br>
<br>
But the Sunforce 600 is not a 600. The rotor diameter tells the
truth, making it<br>
somewhere around a 200 - 250 watt machine. Perhaps they have the
bugs worked<br>
out but when they first came out, there were many reliability and
performance issues.<br>
<br>
What's the application for this?<br>

Hello Wrenches,<br>
<br>
Are the new Air 403 wind machines more reliable than in times
past?<br>
<br>
I'm also looking at a Sunforce 600 W machine. How do these small
turbines hold up these days?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Drake <br>
