at what speed does it have to turn to produce 1500 watts? 20mph? 15 mph? or more?

Bad idea. Mine was so unbalanced that it self destructed the first time we put it in wind. Try Missouri Wind and Solar. Better machine, but none of them create any power in low winds. It will take 30+ mph winds to get anything decent out of any of them. I should correct myself. I have a 48 volt battery system. 12 volt should work better.

I will say none. 15w-50 is too heavy for all the listed vehicles. Most probably probably have 5w-30 spec'd by the manufacturer.

I'm going to guess and say 7 watts, since my 150 uses 3.5. It can't be enough to worry about. It's amazingly quiet. Wish I bought 5, before Amazon raised the price.

Hello Gail. It is a 500 watt motor and goes a steady 20 mph for me. I hope I have answered your question. Tony

As far as I know it's purely tube driven. Not sure regarding the 15 watt version.

It should be spinning at Maximum Speed if you give it the right amount of power

Its rated for 22 amps. I wouldn't load with more than 15 amps, because your motor will pull more amps at start up.

Reading the answer below about the 15/20 amp switchable modes, yes a 2000 watt generator would be fine in 15 amp mode. 15 amps at 120 volts is 1800 watts so in 15 amp mode, it would be fine. The power consumption shown on the sticker is 2200 watts, so you could not use a 2000 watt generator to power it in 20 amp mode.

It has two 150 watts belt drive electric motors and can travel at a max speed of 12 miles per hour.It can achieve a 15 mile range and/or one hour on a full charge.

According to the box it states 20 watts. Since it has a variable speed control I do not know if this is an average or the minimal rate or if it is much difference with the two measures.

The owner's manual says it uses 750 watts on low up to 1500 watts on high. I cannot find any information on how many watts it produces.

I do not know why, in this era of energy conservation awareness, so many electrical applinces do not tell the wattage of the appliance. The Aerospeed does not have it on the box anywhere. On the bottom of the unit it says 120 volts, 0.57 amps. Watts = Volts X Amps, so 120 volts X 0.57 amps = 68.4 watts. I'd suppose this is at the high speed. It seems reasonable that it would use less at the medium and low speeds, but I have no way to estimate that.

It is upto 15mph,you could slow down speed by brake pedal.Regards,kimoutlet

Thanks everyone for their responses, all very helpful! I'll definitely get more than 1500W. I'll only use it to make a cup or two at a time, so won't be for any extended periods. Thanks again!

It draws up to 15 amps. I have mine for quite some time now and am most pleased with it

It goes about 20mph. It has the ability to run a LiPo battery by flipping a switch. It would then run about 30mph. Great boat! I have six!!

From all I read about it and the instructions it says 1500 Watts. Hope this helps.
