WindKraft's 3 bladed airfoil model
targets the
“Low-speed” wind regime
Prototype of this wind turbine
is projected to produce a peak power output
of
2 - 2.3 kWh
with a diameter of approximately 2.8 meters.
It’s a rugged traditional
design with modern innovative features like carbon fiber
blades, winglets,
an aerodynamic boundary layer control feature and the same
automated-computer controls
used on the
WindKraft 1.5 model.
The Hub Locking, Stabilization and Spinner
Mounting Plate.
Increasing efficiency the system is computer controlled and
electro/mechanically
yawed (no steering wind vane).
Initial stainless steel
generator housing is suitable for housing a variety of
“off-the-shelve” generators.
Profile
design for good starting capability at low wind conditions.
Winglets
increase efficiency and reduce noise.
Aerodynamic design concept - a
wing plan-form holding platform
for anemometer and wind direction indicator
(wind-vane).
