The DuoGen product has been six years in development, and
this has lead to a machine that is absolutely unique in configuration.We
believe that it represents a major step forward in water/wind
generation.
Purpose Designed
DuoGen is purpose designed to provide a truly practical solution
to battery charging on cruising yachts. Most of the system's
weight is at deck level, and mode change is accomplished in
seconds without the use of tools. Redundant system components,
i.e. the air turbine in water mode and water turbine in air
mode, are designed to disassemble or are very compact, so
stowage is no problem whatsoever.
Both modes are easily deployed and recovered within seconds
without the need to demount and reposition the alternator,
electrical connections or major system elements.
The dual mode capability provides for greater energy conversion
potential than is possible with any stand-alone system and
energy production is maximised when you need it most, that
is, when you are using your boat and consuming energy.
Designed To Be Quiet
Many yachtsmen who have experience of wind turbines mounted
on cruising yachts complain that that they produce noise and
vibration which resonates through the cabin making life aboard
unpleasant.
DuoGen is designed to be quiet. It is absolutely silent in water
mode, and no noise or vibration is discernible in the yacht's
accommodation whilst in wind mode.
Safe To Operate
DuoGen is safe to operate and incorporates a handle which
enables the wind mode to be safely stopped in any wind conditions.
With its 1.1 metre diameter air rotor, DuoGen is sensibly
sized for the average cruising yacht, and each unit is supplied
complete. In many cases, installation should be possible without
any alteration or additional mounting hardware.
DuoGen is superbly engineered and aesthetically elegant. Built
from the highest quality marine grade materials throughout,
it is designed to deliver years of trouble free service.
