1. Safety
Although the Airdolphin (Z-1000) has been engineered to withstand wind speeds of 65m/s, the rotating blades
may be damaged by tree branches or other flying objects during strong winds. In addition, unforeseen circum-
stance may cause the pole supporting the wind turbine to topple or the wind turbine itself to fall. Keep these pos-
sibilities in mind when selecting a location for the installation of the Airdolphin (Z-1000).
Although the blades of the Airdolphin (Z-1000) are constructed from laminated carbon fiber and are extremely
durable, they can cause severe injury in the unlikely event that they make contact with a human being. For this
reason, we recommend that you install the wind turbine in a location away from people. Install the wind turbine in
a high location that people cannot reach up and touch it.
2-1.Environmental deterioration (public nuisance)
The wind turbine is a mechanical equipment that rotates at a high rate of speed during periods of strong wind. It
is intended for installation outdoors in locations high above the ground. During periods of strong wind, the rotor
rotates at a high rate of speed. Although the blades on the rotor are engineered to minimize the noise they pro-
duce, certain individuals may still be disturbed by the noise. The shadows of wind turbines mounted in high loca-
tions may also fall on neighboring houses. Be aware of the flickering shadows that the rotating blades may cast
when considering the location in which the wind turbine will be mounted.
3. Generation environment
Since the wind turbine’s output is proportional to the cube of the wind speed, it is advantageous to optimise the
location where wind speed is highest within the possible choices. The wind turbine must be installed in a location
that is high above ground level and free from obstructions has unobstructive wind passage.
