  • If this was as efficient as you think why hasn't anyone tried to push a boat through the water with this blade design. the propeller has been and will, for the foreseeable future, be the best shape.

  • how many watts per hour can it generate?

  • @yogiudo

    It's a neat idea but I'm guessing it wouldn't generate hardly any energy. It turns very slowly with no PMA attached. With a PMA it might not turn at all. But like I said... interesting idea.

  • Armestrong reach the moon,

    some kids left behind.

  • what if a fish get in there X(

  • Very cool. How does this compare in efficiency to a Gorlov (helical Darrieus)? Gorlov is at around 35% water to shaft and I've seen as good as 27% water to wire.

  • Watch out you stinking towel-heads someday your oil will be as valueable as your sand..NEVER underestimate the American mind. Jerry

  • Because you have the stream as a constant input.

    It might give you better performance to shield one side of the turbine so that the inflow only hits the cupped side of the turbine. That way the flow of the stream doesn't oppose the spin of the turbine.

  • Very good i like it and ideal for camping etc. I was playing around with some diy stuff again well ddone

  • looks alot like tesla turbine

  • Thanks Machinedragon.

    No it's not testa. This turbibne 100% uses lift via airfoil.

    1- Turbulence does not effect since the lift are utilizeb by artificial flow of fluid around the center. That why it's failed when one implement Darrieus rotor.

    2- Ths turbine does not "suck" water in but redirect the flow of water; therefore it's safe for fish, and relatively safe from debris like a "log". It;s just "push/stear" the water around.

    Thanks.

  • I am interested to see someone combine wind with water in the same manor that one can petal on a bike but the direction doesn't hurt the transmission.

  • This looks excellent! Good job!!!

  • Look beter for gravity energy.

  • Great concept.

    Good day PTranCypress, can you share the plans for this?

  • neat, looks ok, i cant see the design of it too good, but maby have water directed to only one side of the turbine? and possibly make "funnels" to direct the current to that area also.

  • To 160asd160:

    I don't think it will affect the Fish.

    About "weed"- I can't help it unless you put a mess around.

    To Jon70.

    The rotor is as the same as of mine "wind rotor". I have some close up.

    Very Thanks.

    PT.

  • What if a fish gets trapped or any water creature? I dont see this going main stream. Also, any weeds getting caught would stop it from rotating.

  • AN LONG AWAITED ANSWER FOR HUMAN ENERGY THIRST

    Very portable; little wind, light wind and high wind, yet aimed for low speed fluid (air or water) environment.

    Work as wind, creek, spring, stream, river, tidal flow and wave turbine.

  • BENEFITS:

    1-The least expensive to build therefore the most economically attractive.

    2-Yields multiple times the output.

    3-Enable low wind class.

    4-There are thousands of mile of river this provides an inexpensive mean enables them to produce electricity; economically.

    5-Work on Tidal flow.

    6-Wave on thoussand os square miles can be utilized.

    7-Wave turbine also move sea water up from the deeper to the surface -- To absorb CO2. Helping reduce green gas them the atmosphere
