When you put your hand in the wind area. You are mading it change. There is no real need for this. Put in a wind tunnel

it is always great to experiment.

I'm a little confused- So Fawt is Fixed axis wind turbine? Strange concept. How does this work? What's the benefits?

[emagnets]

i was trying to hide the blades and at the same time be able to

collect wind from all directions in an urban setting.

I am confused myself, becasue i am still working the idea out.

today was the first day that i started to build on this project.

i put together the bottom section that i call "Silo" i will post a video of the first section of it.. i could not creat the funel and it was way too much money to buy it custom made. i build it in an octagon shape, soon i will post the vid for you to see it.

Nice idea! Yes, for a urban setting we need to hide the turbine behind deflectors or a stator. It helps to concentrate or collect the wind on a bigger surface. One could use a cone to narrow the cross section.

thanks.. i have put the mini plans on my site, i am still building my shed, i cant wait to start building the real deal for others to see the i dea in 8 feet high proto type, i am hoping next month i am going to start.

thanks

Interesting idea, with a more complex shape you might even be able to start the air spinning as it enters the chamber with the propeller to make it more efficient.

i have all kinds of cut pvc pipes that i am going to use, i am planing to use Big O flexible pipe on all edges of strgit and round bottom deflectors deflector. also as i mentioned in the vid that i am going to use pvc to channels the wind downward.

like you see in the vid, It Did work without and of the pvc channeling, i am sure that it will work much better with the pvc. i am in the mid of building the 4 foot model, but also i am building a pole shed, crazy time crunch...just bare with me i will make it work.

i LIKE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF ROOF ORNAMENT FOR VENTING. THAT OUGHT TO KEEP THE NOSEYS AWAY. I DIDNT GET IT AT FIRST BUT IT DAWNED ON ME AFTER A FEW. THE INTAKE IS SELF EXPLANITORY , BUT WHERE DOES THE AIR GO?

Air will go to bottom, and at the bottom is where i am going to mount a propeller that will face upwards. check my site, i left few extra details on there.

Great designs... i hope i can contribute some ideas to your design...

[emagnets]

it is always challange to others when someone like me comes up with a diffrent idea, i do not want to be like the rest, building a hawt, 80% of the world people live in urban setting and not out on the farm, with this design I will hide the propeller and will produce power. i hope in the near few week i can biuld the 4' deflector FAWT silo, i will post on my site how i am doing it.
