Welcome to the PowerSpout Advanced calculator.

This is a very powerful tool which will automatically update as you input information. However, just like any program, it is only as good as the information you enter, so please take the time to read the manual.

After entering a value, do not press Enter. Simply wait 2 seconds for the calculations to update after each change.

Your Preferences

Update any calculated value that is in an entry box with your preferred value and the calculator will work out the other data as a result of your changes. Experiment with every possible setting and see how it affects the Power at your Shed.

Save & Share Results

If you wish to save your results above and share them with a dealer, please input your own email address, and select a dealer if desired. You will receive an email containing a summary of the results and a reference number. The Job Reference is an optional reference that you can use to track results.

Job Reference

Your turbine will be designed for the site data you supply above. If you operate it on a different site, the output power will differ. A new generator core may be required to obtain the best results in such cases. If you intend to run your turbine over a wide range of flow rates, you need to state this at the time of ordering. A different generator core can be supplied for an additional charge.
