Northern Power aims its 60 kW turbine

... It provides long-term benefits with lower ownership costs over the lifetime of the turbine. A new 24-m rotor features state-of-the-art hub and blade technology with superior aerodynamics providing a larger swept area. This increases the annual energy production (AEP) of the NPS 60-24 by up ...

Re: PVC Blades

The blade calculator (on the main site) might be useful for you to see the attack angle you want at each point along the blade. Then you can work out what % of the circumference of a circle (the size fo the pipe) would approximate ...

GOE 222

Hello Forum, My name is Mike Holmes. I came across your site by accident this evening. I live in Ireland and am in the process of building a 6.5 meter turbine . Is it possible to put in the Gottingen GOE 222 Airfoil data on the Blade calculator? Great site , you guys are very busy.Mike

Re: Simple Blade Calculator

Hi Innovo. I wrote the PHP code for that page, and it is based on some fairly complex aerodynamic formulas... I still have quite figured out how to apply the Reynold's number... Sure I could try and do something for water, but I guess the base formulas are completely different, due to the fact that ...

Re: 12V 24V 48V Stator

... magnet strenght and/or the number of winds. 3. The question does not make sense. Volts per RPM is a sensible measure. Watts per square meter of blade also makes sense. Watts is power, RPM is speed - to confuse the two is common. A huge turbine turning slowly will produce far more watts (i.e. ...

Re: Weird blades

Each blade is at least 1m long. Perhaps the diameter is about 2.5m. As far as I know, its intended as a new design which is claimed to be more efficient than the more usual thin blade design.

Re: Weird blades

Must be somekind of high torque blade design. Surely they can't go fast. Looks like it captures the wind somehow, but the blades is not pitched very much. Hmm.. Hard to think it's effecient in any kind of way. :D

Re: laws and restrictions

Hi there. I believe the height restriction for a Ham radio mast is 9m, so perhaps best to stick to that, including the blade height. That makes for quite a tall pole - I would be interested to see how you intend to erect it, and what stays you plan on using. The force in a high wind ...

Re: Simply the Motor part

... RPMS. The alterantor also has a voltage regulator which simplifies your wiring. The big problem is again the RPMs. The pulley for the windturbine(blade Side) would need to be about 450mm, and on the alterator about 60mm to produce 2000RPM required on the alternator @ about 267 RPM blade speed. ...

Re: How much power does a wind generator produce?

It all depends on the blade size. With 1m blades, 800W should be attainable.

Re: Blade drawings

Hi Jk. Have you looked at the blade profile generating system (see on the main web page)? Cooperating to get a 3D model sounds like a great idea!

Re: New at this

Vane (or blade) construction is the part I have found the hardest. Perhaps something using sections of PVC pipe? Look around this forum for ideas.

Yes, powerful magnets are needed to get the voltages required.

Yes, the coils legs should be the same length as the magnets.

Hope that helps!

Blade drawings

Hi All
Does anyone have a blade drawing they are willing to share?
or what Type of blades, shapes work best...
I can create 3d models and will in return share those to make machining or manufacture easier.
