"Liam" archimedes screw wind turbine design

And as a sanity check of OGB calculations, Ripple WT1 has a 100m diameter rotor and has a max output of 2.5 MW.

Thanks, that's a relief, shows I didn't screw up the arithmetic!

No but you mixed up a . and , when you applied Betzs' Law.

This is what nowty was referring to, I think.

Thats the one !, cheers Stan.

You can even see that Archimedes screw turbine a couple of times in the video, I won't be investing.

I've seen mine up close and its the real deal with a 100m rotor. (pic actually taken by me on the open day)



Currently chucking out near 2MW as I type this with my share over 2kW.

I like Betteridge's law, have to remember it.
