Why is the Vortex wind turbine more efficient then a conventional three Blade wind mill?
1) More surface in compact system. Vortex 1K system has a swept area of 6 feet with a total surface area of above 35 feet and a comparable three blade is usually double the swept area and has less than 30 feet of surface area. 2) Dual power source, not only does the wind pushing on the inside help generate power but the wind moving over the outside pushes the blades and the funnelling effect caused by the turbine helps generate more suction power. 3) The Vortex design has a terminal velocity built into the design. When the wind gets to strong the turbine will become saturated and the excessive wind will spill over the edges. The Vortex should have a terminal velocity between 25 and 35 MPH so it will not need to shut down. What this means is the Vortex does not need a braking system and or guidance system. More importantly, the Vortex should be lighter than comparable three blade system, less expensive to install, easier to fix, generate more power, require less maintenance and should t
