Would you recommend using a single fan instead of the 2 42" units and if so, what size would I have to use in order to match the output of the 2 units? My goal is to increase the velocity to approximately 7-9 m/s using no more than 2 HP. Maybe using a smaller tube would accomplish this?

Can you help with this question? I have a solid tube 10'D x 5'L with 2 42" drum fans in one end producing about 19,000CFM each. I need to know what the velocity will be at the end of the tube in M/S. Also, will the fans be more efficient if there is a seal around the opening where the fan...

I would refer you back to my original post.

When my system is being used to repower every power plant, large ship, and railroad locomotive around the world, remember that you heard it hear first.

If we know the exact amount of torque required to start and also to maintain at full output of the turbine, then we will be able to know exactly what to expect. Otherwise, without those torque ratings, we are simply giving into what we've always been told...it won't work. By the way, GE and...

Lets start with a 2.5Mw turbine. This seems to be the most widely ordered unit today from GE, Clipper and Siemens. They all have a wind cut in speed of 7m/s.

Does anyone know what the ft lbs torque rating is at start up and at maximum generator output of a large commercial wind turbine?

Im new to this forum and wanted to see what you think about my new patent pending design. My concept is...using a 2.5Mw wind turbine, refit 110'L rotor blades with a 10-12' diameter of concave vanes or paddles designed to capture max air thru a forced ducted system that is generated from a large...
