Spherical wind turbine




by Pierre-Yves » 27/04/09, 20:27

after Pascal's Robiplan and other wind turbines, here is a spherical wind turbine which presents some original characters.

Its inventor, Pierre Moreau, has just created a site:

hello Pierre Yves,
Hello everyone :D
cool prototype!
do you know its inventor?
what corner is he from?

Beautiful machine, amazing with its 2 counter-rotating crowns!

Pierre Moreau lives near Quimper. He has been working on his wind turbine for some time now. In addition to the two counter-rotating crowns, there is also an internal deflector, which can be of variable geometry depending on the wind speed.

For the production of electricity, I wonder if the fact of using the two crowns, one carrying the "rotor", the other the "stator" (which would not be it any more!), Is not an improvement. very significant: this amounts to doubling the speed of rotation and, perhaps, to better exploiting light winds.

It is a small footprint wind turbine, very easily integrated into an urban environment for example. There is certainly a market for household wind turbines of this type. Sister Anne, don't you see anything (an industrialist) coming? (This remark is also true for Robiplan!)

Interesting and pretty, but what is its performance?

The question that comes to my mind is also the noise because there are 2 rotors that rotate in opposite directions.
There is a risk of shearing and therefore noise.
