Thank you CJL. I'm going to have to talk to an engineer friend who is a pilot, to help me apply the pitch/flow rate equation. I get that a lot --the thermodynamic oversight. No, we've taken drag into consideration. The turbine is a rotating squirrel cage, as in the illustration above. It only...

Thank you both. I see the light in both responses. I don't think I've explained this very accurately. I've added an illustration to clarify the invention. What I'm doing is using the propeller blast, the rush of air coming off the propeller as the prime mover for the centrifugal turbine you...

I am working on a range extender for full size electric aircraft. It is a turbine located under the cowling, protruding only 8 inches. On my full size static model, the turbine can produce 600 watts with the prop blast v measuring 38 mph. If we could fly the plane (we can't, no wings) at 80...
