    Alternative method for power assessment of small wind turbines

    Hi Q Goest: Thanks for your welcome! I really like the site. Your question about the people who systematically ... We (TEUSA) are working with the help of a team who call themselves Fluid dynamics and Boundary Layer Lab, (La Plata University, Argentina). Their argument is exactly what you...

    Alternative method for power assessment of small wind turbines

    Hi makethings, On this video, we are 2 km southwest from the River Plate coastline close to the city of Berisso. The wind is just a summer breeze of 16 km/h. The turbine is mounted on a truck and we were making ready to carry out some tests. Normal winds in this part of the...

    Alternative method for power assessment of small wind turbines

    Hi Enthalpy! I'm very glad to hear from you, after the sudden loss of contact because of the closing of the other site. Totally unexpected! The link to the inquirer shows a nice picture of an earlier version of our turbine. It has 54 blades and solidity within blade area is 100%. At this...

    Alternative method for power assessment of small wind turbines

    Hi, makethings! Wind speed was just below 5 m/s (average 4.5 m/s) and average power output was close to 300 W. The rotor diameter is 2 m. Starting torque at this wind speed is 12.5 Nm. In the video the rotor accelerates from 0 to 6.2 rps in just 35 s (the first five seconds are not in the vid...

    Alternative method for power assessment of small wind turbines

    Hello, I am Daniel from La Plata, Argentina and would like some help on a complex (for me) question. I am working with some friends on the development of an innovative wind turbine. We have built several prototypes with diameters of 0.5 m and 2 m. We have tested these prototypes on trucks with...
