Description[edit]

Ideal for Europa even though there is a relatively thin atmosphere, as solar is so weak on the planet.

Stationpedia Description[edit]

Norsec's basic wind turbine is an easily fabricated, rapidly deployed design that is strong enough to withstand the worst that environments can throw at it. While the wind turbine is optimized to produce power even on low atmosphere worlds, it performs best in denser environments. Output varies with wind speed, and during storms, may increase dramatically (up to 1kW), so be careful to design your power networks with that in mind.

Average Power Output[edit]

Through some experimentation, I have found the following average power outputs over time. Note that the power output fluctuates on a 1-2 minute roughly sinusoidal cycle.

World Average Power Output Max Power Output (estimated, no storm)
Mars ~14W 43W
Europa ~65W 175W
Venus ~75W 175W

Data Network Properties[edit]

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Outputs[edit]

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.
