Vertical Axis Disk Wind Turbine
Posted by: admin
How the turbine works: Rotatable shutters mounted on a circular disk automatically open when directed into the wind, irregardless of the wind’s direction. Pairs of upper and

Irregardless … it …
Irregardless … it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

irregardless = …
irregardless = regardless(reference: dictionary)

there is no such …
there is no such word as irregardless. it’s just “regardless.”

lol it looks weird…I’m having a hard time beliving it actually works…

very strange design. it would be very funny to watch it

this is a louder version of an anemometer

Whether its a good long term design or not its really cool looking. You should show how we can make one, its hard to believe the wind makes it move like that.

ill take it for …
ill take it for what it is, an inventive idea. it may not be completely perfect but its the thought and new ideas that matter

I bet that thing …
I bet that thing makes one of a drumming racquet. That’s why there is no sound? So much for any covert operations, the klanging of the s bells will get your neighbors up in arms.

Beautiful! Thanks …
Beautiful! Thanks for the explanation - is this piece in production? It’s a great art piece! Is it for sale?

‘”irregardless” of …
‘”irregardless” of the wind’s direction.’ Huh?!
(I suppose he means ‘regardless’.)
Anyway, turbine wastes too much energy, with poor wear characteristic.

this would work as a water turbine, cuz it would suck as a wind one, the vibrations and the load on the bearing would make it have a really short lifespan

i actually find …
i actually find this really useful…because of this new version, this system may be installed in places where typical wind turbines can’t. This is more compact and can lead other inventers to make even better versions.
and it looks sick…Lol

at what wind speed …
at what wind speed was the video taken?
what are the sizes of the vanes?
April 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
I don’t want to …
I don’t want to sound pessimistic but why did you build this ? I know that it’s interesting to experiment, but are there any advantages over usual turbines ?

arcuz13 your right, …
arcuz13 your right, it is perfect for water turbine.

Wind turbines …
Wind turbines generate electricity by spinning with alot of force, not by spinning as fast as they can. Large conventional wind turbines are pretty limited in the speed they can spin anyway.

Efficiency would …
Efficiency would probably be half that of a propeller and looks much more expensive. More moving parts means higher maintenance expense as well.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
how can it work …
how can it work well at low altitude? if it works well then it could be a new breakthrough. i dont care who makes money from these ideas i just want more efficient and cost effective clean energy

Cool idea, looks …
Cool idea, looks like you get torque over speed but that usable power.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Why not just cover …
Why not just cover up half the system and put a tail on it. it will work the same but you can keep the fins fixed.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Very ineffiecent …
Very ineffiecent design, it can never build up much speed and as size is rendered up it becomes even for ineffiecent.
Another patent hound clogging up the system with trash.
