vawt.tk or wrapwind.com vawt vertical axis wind turbine hawt green.
-first i lifted the silo 3 feet
-i tested the propset with blades extended
-i increased the gap bettween the prop and the FAWT bottom
-i increased the gap bettween the prop tips and the wall that covers the prop
-i tested the carbon fiber blades
-all testing was done at approx 15 kmh winds.and maybe gusts of wind at 20kmh
FAWT SILO is a fixed axis wind turbine but it uses lift based p-rops, 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 hope you enjoy this video and not shoot me down as much. think diffrent......

This is amazing!
It seems to have some serious output!
Have you measured what the wattage output is?
I'm really interested to know!
What kind of speeds can the unit withstand?

Aeinar, thanks for your intrest, i have placed this project on hold for now. i am trying to finish The Column VAWT project. i will get some data for you as soon as i can.
the only messurment i have is 18kmh 42 watt. not much but i still can improove it with more efficient wind deflection. but for now the project is on hold.

Nice design. 1 question, though. The 'big O' you placed around the edge, was that to create a sort of Venturi effect? To speed up the wind coming in from above?

yes, the Big O did improove the wind travel downward.
thanks

don't come to close with that cam. hehe.
That thing would take out your cam easely and your hand too.
Extremly cool turbine.
Looks really hard to build but you did it.
Congrats.

thanks Erik, it is Dangerous, it should have been 3 feet higher. your projects look promissing too, keep up the good work.
