1. Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Airdolphin (Z-1000).
The Airdolphin's creation is the culmination of Zephyr Corporation’s years of experience and technical
expertise with small wind turbines.
This turbine is powered by wind, which it harnesses to generate electricity. Since wind is a natural
energy source, its output varies in accordance with time, date, and the seasons. Wind conditions
may not always be optimal, and can range from no breeze to raging gusts. Although people cannot
influence wind force directly, it is possible to adapt to changes in the wind itself. Zephyr Corporation
Airdolphin engineering focused on building a system that can adjust to subtle wind conditions in real
time, generating the maximum amount of electricity.
We at Zephyr Corporation hope that our products are both fun and useful, contributing to the
development of an ecological minded culture by reducing carbon dioxide emissions through the use of
natural energy, thus leaving a better Earth for future generations.
