VAWT with plastic flaps ( 72Kmh Test )

http://www.flapturbine.com
This is 72Kmh test of a small flap-turbine. Since I do not have a wind tunnel, I use a truck to generate artificial wind while it was driven 72Kmh. I also tested this turbine for 90Kmh and did not loose any flaps. I am more encouraged than ever that this turbine has a great future. The next step will be the attachment of a generator to a large-flap turbine for power generation. This video is for testing the flaps. We plan to put larger turbine on the rooftop of a building and test it.

Sorry to ask but can you tell me which year you created the website flapturbine(dot)com? I'm using it as a reference for my project, thanks.

It is established in the year 2007.

Otivaeey I agree with you hundred percent, but those cameras are expensive isn't it?

[otivaeey]

you should see how the blades perform in 72kmph using slow-motion camera.

derdiedasthe This device will be used to generate electricity from the wind. As you can see in the initial phase of the video the turbine is rotating. The reason we did 72 kmh test to imitate the wind tunnel effect. Since we can't get 72 kmh wind anytime we want, the best solution is to mount the turbine on the truck and drive it with high speed.
