Water Turbine

thingiverse

This is a water turbine, designed for a 1 m/s flow. It is 40cm diameter and spins at 120 RPM. Here is the Fusion360 link to it:- https://a360.co/2ODG4me This is the output of my Fusion 360 Add-in called "Airfoil Tools", which you can get from here:- Windows: https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=5447707798035545266&appLang=en&os=Win64&_ga=2.101507906.2128269537.1594988522-2080194535.1594988522 Mac: https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=5447707798035545266&appLang=en&os=Mac&_ga=2.27291391.2128269537.1594988522-2080194535.1594988522 Aifroil Tools is the UI front-end to my decade of work in water and airfoil optimisation. To begin with, I'm supporting: * Wings (lifting foils) and Struts (low-drag symmetric foils) * Cowlings (low-drag shapes for the nose or tail of anything in a flow) * Propellers and Turbines, to be driven by a motor, or collect energy from flow * Ducts suitable for use as a Propeller or Turbine shroud. The Add-in collects the necessary information about the scale, medium, power, and/or expected conditions from you, and parametrically inserts the ideal shape best-suited to your intended purpose. "Ideal" is based on thousands of hours of CFD simulations and particle-swarm genetic optimisation for popular use cases, and typically out-performs legacy shapes (e.g. the best in the UIUC database by 10% to 100%, and all NACA shapes by 57% to 120%).
