Wells turbine customizable

thingiverse

This 3D printable model features a Wells turbine, suitable for bidirectional airflows and central to Oscillating Water Column wave power plants. STL files provide a well-designed turbine with an 113mm outer diameter and 8mm axle bore. Place it on an axis within a tube and power it using a vacuum cleaner or compressor from either side. For high airflows, use the three-blade design, while the seven-blade version is ideal for low to mid flows. NACA airfoil data ensures good starting behavior in blade and cap design. Enjoy videos showcasing this turbine in action and more advanced models with self-adaptive capabilities, patent pending. Leave feedback on these designs. The SCAD file offers customization options for size, blade count, NACA number, and half or full designs based on printing techniques. Print the upper and lower halves separately and glue together after printing. Check out the provided YouTube videos showcasing air and water turbine applications.
