  • sorry pal,get your facts right.No gears in both experiments.both lifts were using 8mm diameter spindle direct drive.you lose.

  • Look bollock brain,

    If you and I were neibouring farmers in the aussie out back and needed to pump water from an underground lake,I would choose an IRON MAN WIND PUMP and you A VESTAS Type 3 Bladed scientifically designed aerofoil same dia. you would pump 90% less water than me because you only used 10% of the available sweep area.Your cattle would die,your kids and you to,and I'd be shagging your wife in exchange for a glass of water.Law of the jungle bird brain.R.I.P.

  • Hi Shiteforbrains,take a look at " Iron man windmills" web site.Try telling them to change their multiple blade design to 3 mickey mousy turbine blades and see what they say.They don't even use the middle 33% because that part does F!*^k all.Three of your type blades would pump just 10% of water if the same diameter of construction was used,any twat can see that.Go on,contact them with your f*^!king brainless ideas.They'll tell you to F*^!k off.

  • Listen bonehead,if you built a wind turbine to pump water and used that stupid three airfoil design you would pump f all,thats why they  use 20 or more flat metal or wooden blades in the outback of USA and aussieland.See the film Austrailia with Nicole Kidman.They couldn't afford to f*!^ about with"PROPER" airfoils you numbskull.

  • hi,

    it's not noise that matters,the hydro electric generators make far more noise but nobady complains.My generators obviously need to be in the middle of nowhere.

  • In conventional wind turbines there is a trade-off between torque on one hand and rotational speed on the other. If the goal is to produce electricity it is far more important to get the generator to rotate as fast as possible than to get maximum torque. Thats why the design trend has gone from many blades (i.e. wind wheels used to pump water) to few blades.

    The reason three blades are chosen before one or two blades is mainly due to stability.

  • @ab22aq22

    hi,look gears are what make the generator go faster not the blade speed.The more torque you create the faster the gen will go when geared up.My design will out torque any conventional by 6 to one.Allso my design will out live them by 10 to one with only an occasional simple bearing change.My design is 6 times cheaper to build,zero maintainence,no silly serviice contract.I'LL SHOW YOU ALL SOON.

  • wow that was a waste of time for someone looking for information.;..

  • There is nothing in this video that would convince anyone that you have come up with anything new at all. Half of your experiment is "hidden". You really don't expect anyone to take it seriously do you? If It's real show it. If it really works, sell it. There are plenty of claims out there of revolutionary inventions. If it works build a prototype and prove it...By generating real usable power. You have been challenged. Prove us doubters wrong.

  • Yes "cardboard" has been commercially viable for years. I could use the same wind mill that you said wouldn’t work and lift the same load you lifted with yours. I saw how slow it was lifting. It’s called gear reduction. Hell I could lift 10 cars with a hand crank if I gear it right. That doesn’t mean it’s efficient to do so.

    Sorry, but you loose on this one.

  • crazy man on line and his grandson behind the carboard good joke.!!

  • @mooreandwright

    the more blades a mill has the more power it will produce but as each blade passes through the air it creates a wake that interferes with the one following therefore reducing the overall efficiency. 5 blades is the best design as it creates the most power with the least loss in power. You can have as many blades as you want but if I made one with 5 it would be better all round than yours.

  • awesome, ill ditch my wind turbine and use a sheet of cardboard instead :)

  • @mooreandwright I won't hold my breath waiting for your miracle to take the market by storm. As for who has shietforbrains, That is plainly evident in your video. You appear to be trying to prove a point, which you will never do with the worst science I have ever seen. Some will view your bonehead test as fact(why I comented). I draw two conclusions from your video. 1.You are delibertly trying to mislead. 2. You really don't understand what you are trying to demonstrate. Both are sad!
