Demonstration Experiments of a Gyro-Mill Wind turbine with Elastically Deformable Plates at the Trailing Part

Abstract

A performance of a gyro-mill wind turbine whose rotating blades with deformable flaps is experimentally clarified. Main blade part is made by an aluminum thin plate and blade shaped foamed styrol. Experiments are performed not using wind tunnel but using 6 fans in a room. The effect of deformable flaps and shapes of the main blades are clarified.
