1882 A Groundbreaking Wind Turbine

foreign wind turbine now we started talking about this in video 1878 when we talked about the general plan how we were going to use a Darwin instructor to capture wind and then put it onto a turbine to turn that into power and we did some modeling actually it was Trey who did the modeling for us in 1880 remember and that gave us some ideas about how to further refine that design and this is what we've come up with so we've got this hyperbolic stroke parabolic cone here we've got these little wing tips here the 18 uh sorry eight four ten zero nsca profiles so it took quite a bit of work on it and it's working absolutely beautifully you might notice it's not very high and that's because as the wind comes down it actually flows over here it must be some kind of Commander effect flowing over that surface and the air Jets out here of these wing tips and it doesn't come much further than about there when we put the airflow on it there's no air escaping it all comes straight down then comes out there so it's got to be pretty efficient I would have thought it is best on the waters turbine if you remember Mike Waters did a turbine his cone was below the level we've extended that courtesy of the work we had traded to split that Airstream and divert it so it only comes through this section here so these wing tips don't need to be very high there's no point in having them that high most of it's just a waste so we've taken those wing tips down and we talked about maglev for we did magnetic bearings if you remember this one's on a Thrust bearing it's only actually four parts and those parts are available on take a cat and I'll put that link in the description below it's built this size so that anybody with a printer a small printer 200 by 200 can print it because there's 174 by 174. so anybody who's got small printer can print this now if you don't have a printer and you still want to give it a go don't remember forget that in video 14 18 yeah 1490 we talked about how to make these Concepts and I made a few of these concepts by hand so the information on how to make this book by hand and by 3D printing and the full development it's right there on this channel so we've done this as an open source project this is so everybody can benefit from it and some people say oh if you do open source it'll get stolen it can't get stolen because it's open source you can't then patent it so it's completely free completely open source all the information is there and I'm super pleased with how it goes now watch this this is very cool [Music] that's about a vault by blowing on it how else are you going to get a turbine that can do that because I'm a little obsessed with low wind turbine because of average wind speeds in the UK but that will turn and continue to turn just by breathing on the thing so beautiful I'm really pleased with it what we're going to do now is direct an Airstream on it and I want you to watch this meter reading you can really feel there's there's no air coming apart from the six volts seven bolts whoa 8.1 volts that is just awesome okay I thought that was super cool it's only in four parts so we've got the men rotor bit which is best as I say on the um Waters turbine so that's the main road a bit then we've got the actual rotor which is that section there then we've got this capping section of the general actor let me get that off there we go and there's our Serpentine coil generator so it breaks down into those 12 Parts those 12 parts are easy to make by themselves or I put the prints really available all goes back together rather neatly there we go there is a groundbreaking generator so that's where as far as I'm concerned pretty much finished all I need to do now is build the and Darwin structure and for that what we're going to have is like a Venturi and then the Darwin structure itself so that's done I hope you like it I hope you give it a go and let me know how you do with it but I think that has indeed great potential so thank you very much for being part of the project everybody thank you very much for watching and please do remember to like And subscribe
