Hi
Im thinking of constructing a millwheel with flat fins to run in a stream.
Is there a formula i can use to calculate the most efficient ∅ to construct it , when taking into account the velocity and area the stream and the surface area of the fins when submerged. and their relevant angles to the current.
It would be good to know the formula for converting the force generated to Watts.
Thanks!
