FAWT Silo (Fixed Axis Wind Turbine vawt plans savonius vertical axis hawt diy ametek green

http://vawt.tk or http://www.wrapwind.com
FAWT SILO is a fixed axis wind turbine but it uses lift based props, i have playing with this idea for few years now in my head, i decided to give it a go, it is at the begining stages and there alot of mods still to be done. the idea is to take the air from horizontal to a downward direction and at the same time is to totally hide the proppeler from view.
i am hoping and predicting that it will be 60% effecient VS the HAWT.
the first step is to build one 4 times as big where the top and bottom defflectors will be 4 feet in width.

i hop you enjoy this video and not shoot me down as much. think diffrent......

best regards

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

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 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.

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.
