Uncovering The Genius of Fibonnaci Turbines

In this video we look into the influence of the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio in the design and efficiency of wind and hydro turbines. Join us as we uncover how these mathematical concepts, deeply rooted in nature, are revolutionizing renewable energy technology.

Do you know of any other real places the Fibonacci sequence appears?

[bobbob-ggeo]

The most important metric of a wind turbine is the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). This metric allows you to compare all forms of energy generation in terms of total energy return during the lifetime of operation per investment dollar spent.

9:14 The green thing is NOT a savonius turbine. A savonius has to have a gap between the halves through which the wind can flow to the other half that runs towards the wind.

If the gap is missing it is a pure resistance runner like for example an anemometer.

Why does the thumbnail say 145% efficiency? I hate when people lie in their advertising. Unlike and unsubscribed.

To produce those spirals, a living thing's cells need to be able to produce a consistent angles of an irrational rotation. Phi happens to be a good ratio for producing dense packing on a growing surface area. Keep in mind, though, dense packing on a growing surface area ALMOST ALWAYS produces a spiral of some kind if it's not a flat surface.

I am a Bharatiya, I am very thankful you mentioned where the fibinaci number actually came from, much appreciated

As the entire surface of the front view of the spinning blades is solid material. Not transparent looking like the gaps between spinning straight blades. Birds might not try to fly through the "danger zone" as they will see the solid metal / plastic body of the turbine as they approach from the front or back. So perhaps fly around it. ☠

[pedtrog]

'145% efficiency' raises a big red flag and makes me instantly suspicious. We're into perpetual motion machine territory here before I've even started watching. Assuming no losses - a big assumption - you cannot exceed 100%

Seems to me that the mountings they are using are sub-optimal, the wishbone bracket should be horizontal with a pair of rotors with opposite spin thus canceling the gyroscopic effect which would inhibit turning into the wind. This pair assembly then sits on a single pivot point where the two wishbones meet (like to back to back 'C' shapes) which is at the same height as the centerline of the spirals, which means far less torque force is needed to rotate it. This could even be expanded to a quad system all pivoting on one point. The reason you need to do this is that the main mast of a wind turbine is costly, so maximizing the amount of air captured by it is critical for cost effective deployments.

9:09 you are welcome for that 1second of footage from my backyard.

He wasn’t joking when it literally appears everywhere. Wonderful video ziroth

[fire]

I think the most important thing is Cost Per Watt, across all scales. So im wondering whats is the cost of manufacturing vs relative production improvement compared to traditional turbines. Beautiful video

[kommo]

Okay the wind turbine in the middle off the road is awesome.

As an Indian, I really appreciate your work and thanks for giving us credit. Many mathematical concepts are originated by Indians (Hindus, jains, etc.) but most westerners just avoid giving credits.

If you're into spirals, check out the Japanese martial art Aikido.

Many spirals in nature are the natural and stable resolution of dynamic and opposite forces confronting each other. Such as when a high pressure zone hits a low pressure zone and a tornado forms as a result.

Aikido forms dynamic spirals by actively receiving their opponents attack. In a sense the Aikidoka is the low pressure zone to their opponent's high pressure zone. A predictable spiral forms and the Aikidoka is trained to almost ride the vortex of the spiral to use the clash as a way to throw or pin their opponent.

In case nobody knows who created this, it was Victor schauberger. He wrote a book we should all be reading, called copy and comprehend nature

[timothysands]

As a design engineer who also dabbles in involute gear tooth profiles with Inventor AutoDesk's equation line, I was elated to hear about all the various ratios and the history of how they came to be derived. What an exceptional video; you have my subscription. 👏

[infinitedaves]

Very similar to Viktor Schauberger's impeller designs from the early 1900's. "Comprehend and copy nature" is a good watch, we can learn a lot about efficiency from the natural world.

[bryanoneill]

I finally understand the Fibonucci set, thankyou, great video.

[daniele.ronzulli]

the 145% efficiency has triggered my senses :D
