Lenz2 wind tunnel tests are done

<< < (5/8) > >>

ghurd:
might be "cheating"
I wondered if it was related somehow to "the geese fly in a 'V' because its easier" concepts.

nothing to lose:
At first I thought this looked like something I have here, then I see there are outer coils and inner coils. Is this a rewind you did yourself and any specail cutting on the  stator?

 Mine has 2 sets of windings, both coils are right together offset by just a toothe or so.

 My lathe has not been set up here for a while, I need to turn the outer ring to mount the mags in still.

wayne:



Its just a ceiling fan motor, here is a pick on the outside. Have not spun it up yet, but by hand get 3-4 volts.

nothing to lose:
In the study of wind and areodynamics, blades design and efficiency, turbulance etc...

We can learn alot from nature itself.
You do know that when geese fly in a V formation one side is longer than the other right. And of course I suppose you know why also.
There are more geese on that side :)
Ha ha, hee hee, hee haw.  Yep I think that is where I heard that I think , HEE Haw, with Buck Owens and Roy Clark :)

windstuffnow:
  Those numbers are based on the shaft output of the turbine.   It actually outperforms my 6.5 ft HAWT in the same wind measuring watts per sq ft which I calculated to be about 38%.
  I wasn't set up to run it at various rpms at a given wind speed so it is possible it could go up or down by loading it differently.  
  Why do ducks fly in a V pattern?  Turbulance is created from the wing tips and travels out behind and down.   Nasty little eddy currents.  If the ducks flew below or behind another duck the rear duck would have to work twice as hard to keep up and as well would have a rough ride.  They know what their doing !  That's also why there is a hold on take off for a few minutes before the next plane departs.   You've seen some jets in the news crashing because of the wake turbulance... it will literally tear an airplane appart.
