Wind Turbine Design

Design principles of Wind Turbine blades, blade length, tower height and number of blades are explained elaborately in this animated video lecture. The factors affecting wind turbine design are its cost, mechanical rigidity and efficiency gain. This is 2nd and last and video on Wind turbine lecture series.

Thank you ! Please don't hesitate to contact our engineering service team, if you need any help in your project.

For home wind mills length of blade is much lower compared to this. So twisting of blade will be lesser compared to bigger wind mills.

Its a part of Mechanical engineering. More precisely Aerospace engineering covers this topic in detail.

You could DOUBLE the effectiveness of your presentation by getting a human being to narrate it.

Hi Rosie, thank you for you explanations, they help a lot and I now understand more about wind turbines.

I would like to ask you to explain a bit more about pitch angle, maybe using the whole length of the blade or entire wind turbine because I am failing to grasp the concept from just the blade section.

Thank you.

fantastic video,
excellent implementation of fluid mechanics. we are doing a project to establish the stiffness and strength of wind mill blade made of composite material
we are done with our research work but stuck up in design part .we would be very much grateful if you could help us with the dimension of the blades and its accompanying parts and with further stuff related to wind mill

This episode was very nice, i learned a lot from it. thanks for you share this good video. Let me have a good time in my spare time.

Surely you can have a well-spoken person just read this script rather than a computer, makes trying to learn this such a task

[AlfraRed]

This video really highlights the importance of tone in language. I find this difficult to take in with the Microsoft Sam voice

We are glad to help you. Please drop a mail with details of your project.

Nice video!thnx plz have a video on twisting and pitching of blades in detail!

[JonGreenCobainski]

great vid! any idea why small home wind mills don't have this shape of blades, do they have the same property's at that scale? mahalo

[savingelectricitysma]

nice, this design is so sleek... wanna have one like this...

[redlinetech]

Could you please make a series of videos explaining what "wind" is?

[actorzone]

I am not a mathematician so I would rather see the designs put to the test on a dyno so we can see torque specs of blade design, everyone has different ideas but unless one can see the numbers its hard to determine the best designs.

[rileycameron]

When finding the optimal angle of attack, is there a constant angle between the airfoil and the relative velocity that works the best? or does it also depend on the magnitude of the relative velocity?

[aparajeetg]

great video, took note of the info in 5 pages though

[gabrielneculaica]

and how do pitching the blade affects the efficiency?... actually... And wasn't the power varying with the square speed, not the cubic?

[alfredohd]

is there any free software to make this designs?. I will appreciate if anyone knows about any. I am studying Renewable Energies. Thank you.
