Twin Savonius turbine that exceeds TSR 2.1 |

My new project is showing great promise. |
|
It has a wind amplifier that makes the turbine spin twice as |
|
fast. |

|
Twin turbines with deflector / wind amplifiers performs at over |
|
twice the speed (TSR) of traditional Savonius wind turbines. |
|
Since this turbine must track the wind a tail is included in the |
|
design. VAWT's in a wind farm can be placed closer together than |
|
HAWTS and with the wind amplifier they can be close to the |
|
ground. They make no noise and do not kill birds. |
|
Normally a Savonius VAWT will only be 15% efficient and achieve |
|
a TSR of 0.85 at best. The wind amplifier on this Twin, Counter |
|
rotation, VAWT increases or more than doubles the effective wind |
|
speed, so efficiency is increased by more than 2 times. This |
|
turbine should be able to charge batteries in very low winds. |
|
Fastest Savonius on the planet. |
|
TSR 2.10 , @165 rpm, in 2.3 mph breeze. Wind Amplifier is 2X. |
|
See how it was built on the vawtsonly forum, |

First run outside on test stand. |

I think your data is good information that I'm looking for. |

This vawt was sent to the trash, not because it was bad, but |
|
because I have no wind and lost interest in VAWT's. |
