Gravitational Vortex Power plant

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of gravitational vortex power plants, focusing on the design and optimization of such systems for a project. Participants explore various aspects, including the relationship between vortex chamber dimensions and inlet discharge.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks information about gravitational vortex power plants and expresses confusion regarding optimal modeling for power generation, specifically the impact of vortex chamber and outlet diameters on inlet discharge.
  • Another participant suggests that the initial inquiry is too broad and vague, indicating a need for more specific questions and prior efforts to understand the topic.
  • A participant shares a link to a video of their prototype, which generated a voltage of around 1.9V, and expresses a desire to understand the power extraction capabilities of their model.
  • There is a suggestion that assistance in finding optimal power design is unlikely without more detailed questions and mathematical exploration from the original poster.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that more specific questions and prior research efforts are necessary for productive discussion. However, there is no consensus on the optimal design parameters for the gravitational vortex power plant, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to take.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the need for clarity in questions and the importance of prior research efforts, which may limit the effectiveness of the discussion. There is also a mention of technical information being available in German, which could pose a barrier for some participants.

Does anybody here have any information about gravitational vortex power plant..?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes... I heard about the gravitational vortex power plant form my college seniors. I would like to do my project on it. Actually i am a little confused about getting an optimal model for a particular power.How the diameter of the vortex chamber and the outlet diameter should be changed for a particular inlet discharge...
 
Hi friends... Actually i joined this community believing i will get productive reply for the problems that i face in the progress of my project.. but now .. i have posted a problem and i am not even getting even two reply... Please help me out physics forum..
 
I replied to a similar question here

Maybe i was a bit unfriendly, but things haven´t changed much since then. Most of the technical information I linked to is in German, so you´ll have to translate.

I think the problem here is that you've asked a very broad and vague question without showing even a hint of effort in trying to figure it out on your own. We're not going to do the entire project for you. What have you found/tried so far?

The above link shows the video of the prototype that i made it showed the voltage generated to around 1.9V.
My aim is to find out how much power can be extracted from a particular model...and the dependence of inlet discharge , diameter of the casing and outlet diameter(at the bottom centre) on this... I was not getting much information from anywhere... I don't want you to do me the whole project.. but i think you can guide me in the right direction..

We'd love to, but getting help finding the optimal power for a power plant design most of us have never even heard of is going to be unlikely unless you can help us help you by giving specific questions and delving into the math.
