"Tilting Flaps" (Horizontal rotation) R. Awni Google project 10^100

[NOBOX7]

i built a proto type of this years ago, it doesnt work very well though

Working on a bigger flapper that has 4'x8' panels.

How about dropping the tail idea and using wind and gravity to tilt the flaps ?

[roooddy]

very interesting....nice idea

OR... the flaps would not have to be centered on the rod and gravity could turn it AND air pressure could turn it back on the "against the wind side". That was fun THANKS!

[waterscience111]

I like it!. May I suggest an interior cam device to turn the flaps that is linked to an exterior tail that the wind pushes down wind to synchronize it with the direction of the wind for optimal power. OR... if the flaps do not turn quit completly flat it would leave enough so the wind would push the flap perpendicular to the wind. (continued)

I like your idea, I just dont know how practical it is? Have you tested it?

Very neat!
