Dual-action Turbine

prusaprinters

Turbine utilising a combination of direct impact and cross-flow propulsion.This is based on the Ugrinsky turbine design with a simpler geometric construction composed of only circles.The design spins well from breath power, but would probably need to be scaled up to generate useful amounts of electricity.The most recent update of the model includes the following features:3 pass-through channels, and 3 collecting P-shaped bladesspherical path extrusion to provide a greater attack surface1 rotor base1 stator that captures 18 coil half-loops1 rotor magnet holder with 18 magnets arranged in opposing N/S directionsOutput voltage (using 20 magnets in a Halbach array and 22 loops) ~0.03V (probably due to magnetic flux interference)Category: Math Art
