INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy in a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly‚ it may be referred to as a wind

“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

Analysis of a bladeless steam turbine for use in a domestic combined heat and power system Peter Burton Edinburgh Napier university Abstract This report analyses the suitability of a bladeless ‘Tesla’ type steam turbine to determine its merit for use in a domestic combined heat and power system. A physical prototype was developed and built so that cost and performance data could be determined. With this done‚ a cost analysis was prepared to evaluate its performance when integrated into a

variety of elements that pertain to a “home-made” turbine. The main purpose of the turbine project was to design and construct a turbine using material around the lab‚ while maintaining the project requirements. The turbine was to be completed in one week‚ where it would be ready to be tested for power‚ stiffness‚ and weight. Everyone in the group would have to work together to make sure the turbine would be completed on time. In addition to the turbine structure‚ a motor blade is needed with ample efficiency
