https://flowerturbines.com/ https://youtu.be/IivHyVao7os Delivers power at 1.2 m/s They have raised more than $7 million till date. Just wondering, what are your thoughts? Earlier I shared Ducted wind turbine video from Winergy https://youtu.be/fLXyD3haLRM, which claimed they produce power at 1 m/s ...

Ducted does capture the air flow and increase the velocity. Many draw backs, size and tracking the wind direction. Not cheap. Surely, they aren't cheap but they can produce more energy at lower wind speeds, which in terms of output are better than not getting any energy at all. The key is to get po...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Put up or shut up. This sector is overrun with bullshit artists already.

In video, OP shows results, are those fake?

I was hoping for comments from people, who have actually built real world windmills and have experience / understands windmills & engineering behind it. OP have shown results with prototype and I don't think it is virtual.

Congratulations, you have invented riprap! I found one such RipRap's picture and there are many in existence built by some real Civil engineering firms. See this pic and tell them they are stupid and it doesn't work and laugh at them. https://i2.wp.com/dryfabflood.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IBS...

Those are examples of concrete walls backed by earth. I think there is some misunderstanding in our discussion. Let me try another way. In a flowing river water, If I insert a Steel Pole of 12 inch wide (EYE BEAM) about 12 ft deep and leave 8 ft on top, would that Pole bend because of flowing water...

Anyway to get picture of this structure? May be people who don't believe will have some sort of proof of it. The sand and rock just help to reduce the erosion but they don't support the piles. I think it is cheaper to build if we consider the amount of material transported on the site from far than ...

Your conclusion is based on existing knowledge you have. But let me tell you how Air, Liquid and Solids work differently. Throw 100 ton Solid block on electric Pole. It will act exactly according to your theory and you are right. If the pole can't withstand against the force exerted by that solid ob...

I think something like this (Energy to go: the world’s smallest hydropower plant | Eco-at-Africa) is more interesting to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNuZaaJZd3w

This is good for micro scale generation but needs always flowing water. Very Good for people who live near it.

If what you claim is true, then you could divide ANY wall, dam, berm or levee into tiny sections and it would become much, much stronger and easier to build to withstand the same force. Thirty seconds of experimentation proves this false. The video claims it and that's what is mentioned in the vide...

"If you have a wall X meters long, and it will have to withstand Y height of water, the amount of force each section of wall has to withstand is exactly the same when summed over the entire wall." ONLY If it is continuous wall, without sections. When the wall is divided into sections, this...

They mention it as portable and costs less than existing methods. Imagine the transportation cost of transferring the gravel to build the lagoon vs using pre fabricated piles, which are 100 times smaller in volume and weight. Pile walls can work. They are still effective around the Santa Monica Pier...

Well, here is another experiment. Place a pressure measuring device in a tank on side wall at the bottom. Measure the pressure or force at that point. Pressure is constant all across the wall in that horizontal line. Let's say pressure you measure was 1000 pascal. So lets say the wall is 100 unit lo...

Thames wall / implementation proves the same thing mentioned in the video. Check the actual thickness of the moving barrier at the bottom, it is very very thin, that means you can have thin member all the way up and it will still hold the water e.g. think of vertical column or panel or sluice gate c...

No, I'm not Civil engineer, but I know Engineers are those people, who can accurately learn and repeat the things invented by non-engineers. Sometimes they are unable to think outside the box, because that was not taught to them while getting that degree. So I'd like to know what is the issue or gap...

That design don't need that thick wall. That's the principle of design. Divide and Conquer kind of philosophy. If it is continuous wall, then your statement is valid. If you partition wall, the forces are not propagated along its length, that's the point of that design. You see a unit area of water ...

Can't that pile wall be designed thick enough to withstand against the load?

Would love to know your expert opinions about this proposed power generation technique as Tidal power plants are already successful in some countries.

Simulations may well show more efficiency, depending on what the simulator is ignoring. (All simulators use shortcuts to speed execution time; one method is to not calculate certain parasitics if they are not deemed to be important.) Is there a way we can simulate it easily? Or you have the ability...

Anybody have more insights about this car? Agree with the other poster; it's a joke. Any duct is high drag both due to interference of compression waves and greatly increased surface area. Well they backed high efficiency claim based on simulation results, which is confusing to me. Here is another ...

I actually see more cargo space than what other cars have and the cabin space is adjustable too, so we still get same cabin space, if required. But my point of discussion is about efficiency and not the size as if you see Smart Car from https://www.smartusa.com only cramps 2 people in it and still h...

That's what the company is claiming. Does that mean they are better than Tesla, BYD, Faraday Future, Lucid Motors, Byton, BMW, Fisker, Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota and all other companies? I wonder how much efficiency you can improve, if you have the design as shown in the video https://www.youtube.com/...

I found this very detailed and interesting page, which explains different types of stator windings.

Now the question is which one resembles to the Rotomax?
