The motor inside Magnum is genuinely 15 kW continuous-rated — 50% more capacity than typical 10 kW competitors. This headroom protects the generator from gusts and dramatically extends service life.
Available wind power follows P = ½ × ρ × A × V³ × Cp × η. Wind speed (V) is cubed — small increases produce dramatic output gains. Magnum's carbon-fibre blade aerodynamics reach Cp 0.45 in good wind. Combined with 95% electrical efficiency from the parallel-strand premium copper winding and bigger 60×25×5 mm magnets, Magnum extracts ~43% of available wind energy as electricity — at the top of the small horizontal-axis class.

Honest answers on output, payback, wind speed and siting.
It depends on your average wind speed. At a breezy 6 m/s site the Magnum produces roughly 3,000–3,800 kWh per year, and far more on exposed coastal or hilltop sites. Below its 6 m/s cut-in it generates little, so it suits open, windy locations. Use the "Will it pay for itself?" calculator on this page for your exact wind speed.
On a good wind site the Magnum can pay for itself remarkably fast — sometimes within a couple of years at a breezy 6 m/s average wind, at your local electricity price of about £0.27/kWh and the £799 price. Payback is longer on calmer sites and shorter on windier ones; rising electricity prices shorten it further.
The Magnum is a horizontal-axis turbine with a 6 m/s cut-in, so it is at its best on open, consistently windy sites — coasts, hilltops and exposed countryside. For sheltered or urban locations with lighter, gustier wind, the vertical-axis Atlas (2 m/s cut-in) is usually the better choice.
The Magnum uses a premium 15 kW continuously-rated motor but peaks at about 12 kW of output, so the motor runs far below its limit. Running an over-rated motor gently means less heat, less wear and a much longer service life — it is built to keep working reliably for decades.
Yes, for homes with a good, open wind exposure — rural properties, farms, coastal and hilltop sites. It is a powerful horizontal turbine that rewards steady wind. If your site is built-up or sheltered, consider the vertical Atlas, which starts in much lighter wind.
Yes. The Magnum is designed for grid-tied (on-grid) use with a compatible inverter and cabling, offsetting the electricity your home draws and, where allowed, exporting surplus. A charge controller and battery are not needed for on-grid use.
Yes — the Magnum is well suited to off-grid irrigation and farm pumping. Its three cables carry 3-phase power that can drive a pump directly. Because a wind turbine's voltage and frequency rise and fall with the wind, it pairs best with a permanent-magnet or DC pump (which simply pumps faster in stronger wind) — including TESUP's own Industrial Permanent-Magnet Motor as a clean direct match. A standard induction pump can also be driven through a simple variable-speed drive (VFD) or soft-starter for reliable starting and protection, or you can pair the Magnum with a battery and inverter for steady, on-demand water. Choose a pump rated at a similar power to the turbine for the best results — no charge controller is needed for direct pumping.
Because the motor turns at roughly the wind turbine's speed — low RPM with high torque — pick a pump suited to that. A positive-displacement pump (helical-rotor / progressive-cavity, piston or diaphragm) is ideal for direct drive and is the standard choice for wind- and solar-powered borehole and irrigation pumping. Connect the motor shaft to the pump with a flexible coupling (direct 1:1) or a belt and pulleys — the belt also lets you set the speed ratio. If you prefer a standard centrifugal pump, add a belt-and-pulley or a 1:4 gearbox step-up to reach its design speed. Match the pump's power to the turbine for the best results.
Very little. With a heavily over-rated, gently-loaded motor and durable construction, the Magnum is designed to run for years with minimal upkeep — an occasional visual check is usually all that is needed.
The Magnum is built from premium, corrosion-resistant aluminium — a lightweight, marine-grade metal that resists UV, salt and frost. Paired with its heavily over-rated motor, that durability is why the Magnum is built once to keep generating for around 25 years of reliable power. Aluminium is also 100% recyclable, so at the end of its long life the turbine can be fully recycled — clean energy made from a sustainable material.
