The Gaia 11
The Gaia 11kW turbine has a very large blade with a diameter of some 13m. This provides excellent performance at the low wind speed sites typical in lowland areas of the UK.
With 150 wind turbines already installed, Gaia-Wind has more than 1,000 years of operational turbine experience.
The Gaia turbine is technologically a large turbine scaled down, rather than a simplistic small turbine scaled up. This means the machine has the advanced control software installed normally associated with large wind farms which maximises energy production through constantly measuring wind speed and direction. The machine can also be monitored on line to see how much energy is being produced.

Note: the annual electricity consumption of a medium sized house is 4 to 6 MWh. This is equivalent to a daily consumption of 11 to 16 kWh.
AMWS is the Annual Mean Wind Speed in m/s, a rough idea of the AMWS for your area can be found on the BWEA website. Typically a good site in the South East has wind speeds of around 5.0m/s at hub height. |

The Iskra 5 kW Wind Turbine
Working with Segen we are now able to supply the 5kW Iskra AT5-1 Wind Turbine. This machine is large enough to produce around 8,000kWh / year on a reasonable site in the South of the UK.
Touchwood were so impressed by the Iskra we have our own on a site in Hertfordshire which was featured on the Grand Design Live TV show.
The Iskra is a british made machine, and is listed with the Low Carbon Buildings Programme so is elgible for a grant of £2,500.

The Skystream 3.7 1.8kW Wind Turbine
The Skystream 3.7 1.8kW Wind Turbine is an exciting new product we are now offering, sized to produce around the same annual kWh as that used by a typical house. The Skystream is the smallest turbine we would recommend, since we believe anything smaller would not produce a significant amount of power. The product is ideal for those with a large garden and a good wind resource. For those disillusioned by the miss-selling of roof mounted 'toy' turbines that simply cannot produce meaningful power from such a small blade diameter, Skystream is the answer.
The new Skystream design incorporates the inverter built into the head of the machine (rather than being housed in an out building or similar) thus making installation a simple process.
Technical spec:
- Rated Power :1.8 kW (at 10 m/s)
- Blade Diameter : 3.7m
- Tower Height : 10m or 14m Freestanding
- Rotor Speed: 325rpm
- Start wind Speed: 3.5 m/s
