Suction turbine

thingiverse

This innovative design is a vacuum turbine that has the capability to produce sufficient force to enable it to be attached directly to the ceiling. It operates with a compact motor, specifically the motor from the tail rotor of small remote-controlled electric helicopters. As this project is still in its preliminary stages, the design is highly customizable and parametric, allowing for easy modifications to be made to the motor, stator, or turbine itself. I was pleasantly surprised by the initial results obtained, which has given me a great deal of motivation to move forward with this idea. The plan is to utilize the rotation speed rather than torque to generate power, leveraging not only centrifugal force but also the Venturi effect for maximum efficiency. To achieve these results, I employed a bearing with an outer diameter of 10 mm and an inner diameter of 3 mm, accompanied by a ring width of 4 mm. All screws used are M3 in size.
