Aqua Gen Water Powered Generators
Aquagens are towed water driven generators. Two models make up the range, the Aquq4gen and the Aqua6gen. Both are suitable for:
- All sailboats and sailing speeds
- blue and coastal waters.
The towed turbine travels 1-3 meters below the surface. Aquagens can therefore be used in shallow coastal waters as well as ocean crossings.
Features
Adjustable Replaceable Safety Blades
- Two lengths of blades to maximize output.
- In the event of breakage new blades can be easily fitted.
Low Drag
- Well proven LVM alternator produces power at low revs reducing drag which varies by output.
Quick Simple Installation
- The generator is mounted by rope [supplied] to the pushpit.
- Easily mounted and de-mounted.
- The turbine is attached to the generator by rope [supplied].
Long Life Maintenance Free
- Heavy duty sealed for life bearings
- Corrosion resistant materials used throughout.
Efficient Brushless Alternator
- High efficiency brushless alternator incorporating heavy-duty stator windings.
- Sleeved and potted high-energy neodymium magnets.
Silent Power
- Neither the generator nor the towed turbine produces any discernible noise.
Battery Protection
- Voltage regulators and diode units are available for single and multiple battery protection.



Performance
Powerful
- Aqua4gen starts to generate at 2.5 knots boat speed.
- Aqua6gen starts to generate at 3.5 knots boat speed

Aqua4gen-Aero4gen
'Two units in one'
The Aqua4gen can be quickly and easily converted into a wind generator providing:
- A water generator when sailing
- A wind generator when at anchor or when sailing
- With the same performance as an Aero4gen
Features
Rapid Conversion.
- Converted into wind mode in less than 5 minutes.
Permanent Wind Mounting.
- Conversion mounting is fitted with slip rings so that the unit can be left in wind mode.
- Ideal for maintaining batteries when at anchor or away from the boat.
- Computer designed blades for low noise, low speeds, enhanced safety, comfort and reduced bearing wear.
Voltage regulators are available for single and multiple battery protection.
