Thanks am new subscriber am looking to make a wind wall / fence across my front yard I love this idea will be easy to get fabric from used clothing from thrift shop and 0ld oil buckets for disc . Lots of small turbines with colorful sails each turning a small generator.

Great improvement over the previous! On the area and available power, If I were faced with a choose between doubling the radius or doubling the height, both having the same area and presumptivly the same power, I'd choose double the height because asuming the same tip speed ratio, a smaller radius spins faster in a given wind than doubling the radius with the same tip speed in the same wind.

Unfortunately only one side i.e..50% the frontal area catches the wind! I'de use twin counter rotating geared together sails & drums in the same overall square ftg area. Use high quality bearings w continuous lubrication or stabilized magnetic bearings.

How is it with the Coanda effects? Its always right to simpliphy if it is better! Now I just don't see it! The Sail take more stress, and the better speed, I did not see it! What I see is less torque in same speed! Its not a bad idea just not better!

Hi , Can you tell me have you tested any of these designs with load? It is because I have heard that lift type are best VAWT and especially helical design that self starts.

I have not yet tested under load. I am working on a non-electric method to generate heat within a building that is near the VAWT. This will be the load for the turbine. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you very much indeed. Everthing is clear as sky. What would be if the number of sails are decreased or increased? How important is a width of the sail? A relation of the sail sides, how longer should be longer side? How about combination of drag type with lift type VAWT? They say that the drag type is efficent at a lower wind velocity and the lift type efficient at higher velocity? Are these upper and lower discs are mandatory or could they be replaced by plastic or metal bars from the center? Thank you again.

Awesome concept! I have a question for Jim: would it help to design it with an odd number of sails so that the windward sails don't block the wind from the leeward sails? What ratio of leading edge to trailing edge length did you use for this prototype?
@Jimscoolstuff
Жыл бұрын
An odd number might help; the amount of gap between the sails may be just as important. As I mentioned in the video, the trailing edge was much too long. The flopping of the sails could be greatly reduced by making the trailing edge only slightly longer than the leading edge. Thanks for your comment.

Hello Can i ask how can i get the mounting height of the VAWT using wind speed of the specific location?.
@Jimscoolstuff
2 жыл бұрын
In general the answer is " as high as you can afford" When looking at open terrain winds, the speed increases with height. The VAWT can be used to utilize wind that is concentrated by objects like buildings and solid fences. In that case the VAWT should be mounted high enough that it is not a danger to people walking below it.

Very inspiring video and I am eager to see the your following vawt. Just a quick question: what is the ratio of the long and short sides of the trapezoid sails?
@Jimscoolstuff
2 жыл бұрын
The long side was 18 inches, the short side was 13 inches, the width was 6 inches. I would shorten the long side to get a better airfoil shape. Thankyou for your comment.
@zoltangacsi4614
2 жыл бұрын
@@Jimscoolstuff Thank you for your reply and I will then try a bit shorter long side. Presently the picture in my mind of a vawt consists of L-shaped sail holders (both top and bottom) perhaps welded to the axle. (Then the sails would be tangential, and at higher rpm they probably would bend the tip of L-shaped rod toward each other, do not know yet.) I think trying to eliminate the C-sub-2 is a brilliant idea of yours, thank you for sharing with us. I am looking forward to your further modifications!

it could be a wire spool or flat cylinder, both work, the wire spool top-bottom could have the cup effect stoppers to a certain angle adding the pelton cup effect, 0% against the wind, 100% (90 degrees) along the wind, cyclocopter turbine, but passively opened-collapsed

betz is only for special set of assumptions, assume you have a small area spread to infinite area, as air hydraulics, you get approaching zero wind speed out, it functions like a bell nozzle, or reverse constriction speed-up nozzle, ie, speed-down hydraulic nozzle
