    Experimentally Calculate Wind Turbine Torque

    http://twitpic.com/8ztc8x < Image of set up there. Effectively all that was manufactured was a turbine rotor with a bearing hub that freely rotates on a stand. All Dimensions will be known, and after the experiment the angular velocity and windspeeds will have been recorded. If i can achieve a...

    Experimentally Calculate Wind Turbine Torque

    Sure thing, give me two minutes to upload a sketch. Yeah, we went ahead and built them without planning for torque measurement. Bit of a mistake.

    Experimentally Calculate Wind Turbine Torque

    Dear All, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have recently booked out the local wind tunnel in order to run some simulations on three home made model wind turbines. I am aware of how to theoretically calculate the available power (0.5*p*A*V^3) and that P=Tw (Torque * Angular Velocity). Angular...
