WIND ENERGY NSM 21 (PROTOTYPE 1)

[Cowcharge]

A graphic display is not a prototype. Flagged.

[hintzofcolorconcepts]

Gyroscopic action from the rotation would work against you...

interesting idea though.

[noughtimus]

Any figures? Efficient? Looks wierd but may work.........

Need data!!!!!!

[kesto444]

w w w diymagneticmotor com for FREE energy, anyone has tried it?

[obzelite]

stop playing in cad programs and build it. until its working in real life you have proved nothing.

[m1aws]

@obzelite Watch the other video's off this poster

[m1aws]

The Magnus effect.

Why a Cricket ball is made to swerve when thrown with a spin because of the thick band around it and why golf balls have to be dimpled so they do not swerve if they spin in flight.

This works by swerving the powerful wind force to one side with very low effort.

[Q3020Q]

I don't understand the point of the turning cylinders

[MrHobiecat]

@Q3020Q the spining cylinders are there to con investors out of their life savings.

[1loydchristmas]

how many airplanes do you see utilizing the magnus effect for wings......thats right, none because it's not as efficient

[noobje91]

Why are the fans round?

[freakofnature1974]

omg its yuffie kisaragi! agh!!!! xD

[NotJoe101]

The point of most of these is to get people thinking,2 show that they dont all have to look the same & that it`s rich for advancement.One of the most ridiculous arguments against Wind Energy is that Wind driven turbines are ugly.A Nuclear smoke stack & what we are doing to the world we live in is far uglier.

[MadHatterTruth]

why not have just a single tube?

[PsychoticusRex]

I think this might have the bonus on standard wind turbines in that they don't rotate much faster than the wind during operation. Thus they don't kill bats/birds but could with their higher torque but lower speed generate just as much power. It's also MUCH easier to machine a cylinder than a bloody aerofoil. 8D

[ccalvinn27]

razor blades? thats not safe...

[TheLartenCrepsley]

exactly. what if it caught a bird or something? it would cut it apart.

[TelfLad]

Sorry what is better about this than a regular turbine?

No external energy my arse

[JonasClark]

What I mean by that is that it doesn't make oodles and oodles of profit like, say, oil and gas. But I can also see it not taking off due to NIMBYism - NIMBY ("Not In My Back Yard") is the term for the syndrome of people loving these great ideas...as long as they're not nearby. With wind turbines, it means "I hope we build more of these...but not where they destroy my view". And as there are NIMBY types everywhere, there are few places to build where a few locals don't throw a fit.

[JonasClark]

Yes, these three are supposed to use the Magnus Effect. Ericdebord, there's the clincher: "Doesn't make money". If it's helpful, and efficient, and useful...but it doesn't make a profit...the thinking is, what good is it?

[hungrygit]

Why won't it make money if it's more efficient than existing models? Is it much more expensive to make?

[thull79]

spinning cylinders are extra drag and wasted energy.

[wondersax]

this would only work in highly windy places due to the added weight

[TweezerAddict]

...and in only three days you can have fresh ground coffee.

[omgroflmao911]

is this digital?

[wingman63]

All that's missing on this one are three coloured spheres extending vertically from the mast and bobbing up and down at varying heights. Whistles could also be attached to the blades for added absurdity.

[ericdebord]

if wind or solar power works so well then why hasnt it taken over the oil biz? because the biz math doesnt add up, its too costly! do the math. price, maintance and the fact it has a very short life do not out weight the pace this investment loses value and it doesnt make money. if it did they wouldnt need so much help from the gov and supported by kooks. if it worked they would be on every house but they dont....

[dinosquirrel]

Because oil companies buy ideas and patents and put them away for good. Why would you care if you were 65 years old and a millionaire? You have no need to worry about the planet in the next 25 years or so, so screw it, gouge the economy now. Go look up Stan Meyer, VERY interesting. I worked for a guy who's brother in law created a never ending oil filter - you never needed to change your oil again, the filter kept it clean. Oil bought the idea, and the guy got rich. Where is it now?

[johnb300m]

how does the filter prevent the chemical breakdown of the oil at the molecular level?

This sounds like the story everybody's uncle tells of his friend at Ford who invented the 150mpg carburetor.

[theweepingangel]

Turbines and panels pay for themselves after a given time, whereas oil and other resources as such are diminished. While nuclear and oil facilities make energy for a bit cheaper, these make for cleaner/more breathable air with less pollution. That, and if one of these breaks down, Chernobyl doesn't happen.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not into Priuses or composting or anything, but this would be far more beneficial after a few years.

[Falsepuppet]

smarter then coal i guess...

anything is more efficient then a combustion reaction.

[krap101]

@Falsepuppet How about a spontaneous reaction?

[mylegsareswollen]

These eye sores are going to pollute the landscapes of the world; killing birds, exploding in high winds leaving a huge carbon footprint.

Nuclear power is cleaner, more efficient, and the future solution to the energy crisis.

[theweepingangel]

I know I *LOVE* incidents like Chernobyl.

I don't like these turbines, but the other kinds are nice.

[chueffer]

Stick to the K.I.S.S. principal:Keep it simple,stupid.

[PatrikMacGoohan]

I haven't thought about it too much but it looks like the overall effect of the cylinders is drag. On the front side the cylinders are creating a horizantal force forward. On the backside they're pulling back. It balances out. Replace the cylinders with props and you harness more force to spin the turbine. As far as I can tell the cylinders and their spinning motion are a total waste of time and they will cost you energy. Of course I don't know everything. Maybe you know something I don't.

[smoothsk8r44]

The spinning cylinders utilize the Magnus Effect maybe?

[PrototypeO]

Enclose the cylinders in a vacuum with the base of the shaft in a planetary gear arrangment

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

I dont understand the point of the blades, and fail to see how this is a wind turbine

[ParapaDrifter]

strange ... tell me how it works :D

if true... this is remarkable.. good work!

[COLOMBIAR]

NEVER GONA WORK

[jetgraphics]

Methinks this is related to the vortex implosion principle... but I may be wrong.

[laleeloolelol]

the MAGNUS EFFECT????

[jizzmonger]

These turbines suck.

It reminds of a banker who is counting, recounting and then rearranging the order of some pennies quarters and dimes he has in hopes he will end up with a higher monetray result.

In the end you still have the same amount, no matter how you count it.

[Choice777]

will never work.

[jollivier]

I don't get it either. I mean I think I understand how it works - The cylinders would produce lift the same way a golf ball does - but it certainly wouldn't be as aerodynamically efficient as a conventional turbine, and it would be far more expensive to build.

[papafaya]

this looks greats,at what wind speed dose it work

[seshkanuri]

I dont see any major breakthrough in the design. I dont see any advantages in having both the Axial and the Radial rotations of the blades. It will not produce any extra energy. This may be less efficient as it slows down the Radial rotation's sweep(regular blades).

[closetpunk2006]

I haven't seen this before, and as interesting as it looks, I don't get the point. Anyone else?
