Technology




   Technology       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Solar Power Supplies
 
     Solar power supplies convert light into electricity. They are the building blocks of photovoltaic (PV) modules. There are many different types of PV and solar power supplies. Examples include solar batteries, solar battery chargers, and solar panels.
 
   Wind Turbines
 
     Wind turbines create electrical power from wind. They convert the kinetic energy from wind into mechanical power that can be used to turn a generator. 
 
   Hydro Turbines
 
     Hydro turbines are used to transmit mechanical power and produce electricity. Hydro turbines convert water pressure into mechanical shaft power that can be used to drive an electricity generator, grind a mill, or move some other device.
 
   Flywheel Power Systems
 
     Flywheel power systems are high-speed, bore-loaded, carbon fiber flywheel rotors with an integrated iron-less generator inside a sealed, vacuum housing. They store energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy.
 
   Fuel Cells
 
     Fuel cells produce electricity and heat electrochemically by combining oxygen from the air with a fuel, preferably hydrogen, from methanol, natural gas, or petroleum. Reformers are often used in conjunction with hydrogen fuel cells.
 
   Other
 
       Other unlisted or proprietary technologies.

Power Output




   Output Options      A generator should never be operated at maximum power output for more than 30 minutes or for periods of time exceeding manufacturer's recommendation.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   AC Single Phase Power
 
     Generator outputs standard single phase voltage.
 
   AC Three Phase Power
 
     Generator outputs standard three phase power.
 
   DC Power
 
     Generator outputs DC power.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   DC Prime Power Rating (Watts):
 
     DC Power Rating
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   AC Prime Power Rating (VA):
 
     AC Power Rating.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
