Venturi Tube +Wind Turbine John Aleman Vinnie Culmone Amanda Liu
Constraints • - Wind speed/direction • Maintenance • Fatigue • Rotor nonlinear
Goals • Compare wind turbine efficiency - Combine idea of venturi tube between buildings • Understand and design turbine • to maximize Betz Limit
Initial Design • 4.1 – 113 • Wind turbine • 4.1 MW • 27%
The Tests • Configurations • Small 3 blade Turbine inside Reducer • Small 3 blade Turbine w/o Reducer • Small 5 blade Turbine w/o Reducer • Large 3 blade Turbine w/o Reducer • Large 5 blade Turbine w/o Reducer • Small 5 blade Turbine inside Reducer • Wind Speeds • 20% 11 m/s 24mph • 30% 16 m/s 35mph
Why it Failed Maybe
