Viktor Schauberger Vortex Pipe Turbine 3D print model

cgtrader

This innovative design is a replication of Viktor Schauberger's pioneering invention known as the Whorl Pipe, later renamed to Repulsator. A compact electric motor propels it at high speeds, triggering vortex motion within the contained medium and expelling it outward in the process. As the tubes rotate in tandem, their weight distribution balances out effortlessly. This Vortex Bioturbine model is meticulously designed after Viktor's thorough research of nature, particularly his study on the remarkable movement patterns of Kudu antelopes. Each aspect of the tube cross-section meticulously adheres to Viktor's specifications, showcasing a deliberate design convergence that optimizes its functional potential. At the heart of this machine lies an elegantly designed egg-shaped structure that not only follows the indented curvature outlined in Viktor's patent but also narrows harmoniously, mirroring the principles behind hyperbolic funnel shapes. What sets this invention apart is the unique relationship between its components: as the outer spiral turns in one direction, it synchronizes with the inner rotation moving oppositely. At the core of this ingenious machinery is a specially designed main housing shaped like an expansive hyperbola, effectively guiding and focusing the movement into a seamless interaction with the central component. Visual depictions showcasing cutaway views highlight these internal mechanics and shed light on how the different elements function harmoniously to form a self-balancing vortex bioturbine system. Designed in its basic version as a basis for further expansion without including end nozzles, this prototype can be adapted into several forms with various attachments depending on intended application or customization needs. The detailed drawings include complete versions along with modules showing the housing separate from tubes to facilitate easy and cost-effective 3D printing methods, suggesting a future in adaptable technology with modular construction in mind.
