This saves the internal battery from being over charged and the power generation is again activated once the voltage falls below a threshold level.
The internal microprocessor also controls the speed of the blades and automatically slows them down in case of a charging wind. This prevents the circuit from getting damaged die to high speed winds and also reduces thenoise from the gadget.
