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

Note: Only the Aqua4gen can be converted

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.

Quiet: Low Speed: Compact: Light: Robust.

Computer designed blades for low noise, low speeds, enhanced safety, comfort and reduced bearing wear.

Battery Protection.

Voltage regulators are available for single and multiple battery protection.
