turbine/generator question

Recommended Posts

I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide advice or sources of information regarding design and construction of small turbines. I will be attempting to build one and would like it to be as efficient as possible. I have reviewed the basic formulas involved but cannot seem to find information regarding variables such as what gauge of wire to use, determining diameter of loops, viability of linking several small turbines in series, and other design criteria that must be addressed before materials can be purchased. Thank you in advance for any advice.

engineerjoe,

 

If you will Google "amateur turbine", many sites will come up to perhaps get you started and fired up.

 

Good luck, and when you are behind the protective barrier for startup, be sure to still wear your safety glasses!

 

Bob.
