wind chute turbine update
« on: February 03, 2005, 12:44:45 AM »
i got most of the machine put together. thought i would try with only one chute on the intake side. it seems to not like wind at all.  had a good wind and was facing it into it. when i blew cigarette smoke into the chute, it came back out?? next attack is to put the other side of the chute on and maybe cut the intake length down a little. i had better air turning it around backwards but still didn't get much spin out of it. must have been some kind of a high pressure effect through the chute going in, and nothing to pull the air out???

seems what i see, and what actually willwork, is going to be 2 different things.

the camera is still in wal-mart getting developed. hopefully pictures will be back and i can get one of you specialists to give me some hopeful comments or grief.

i know you won't hold back.

this is the link of the machine i am trying to create thanks to Grant McHerron links to his thoughts and ideas.
