11Helicopter rotor — This article is about helicopter main rotor systems. For antitorque control, see tail rotor. Helicopter rotor The rotor head of a Sikorsky S 92 A helicopter main rotor or rotor system is a type of fan that is used to generate both the aerodynamic …
12impulse-reaction turbine — A form of turbine in which hot, high velocity gases produce an aerodynamic force as an impulse force as they move the turbine blades in the direction needed to spin the turbine blades. In this type of turbine, there is a stator vane and a rotor… …
13Darrieus wind turbine — Fig. 1: A Darrieus wind turbine once used to generate electricity on the Magdalen Islands The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from the energy carried in the wind. The turbine… …
14Darrieus-Rotor — von Martigny (Kanton Wallis), erbaut 1987, Centre de recherche et d enseignement en energie et techniques municipales Der Darrieus Rotor ist eine Windturbine für Windkraftanlagen mit vertikaler Rotationsachse (VAWT, vertical axis wind turbine),… …
15Tesla turbine — The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centrifugal flow turbine expander patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It is referred to as a bladeless turbine because it uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional …
16Vertical axis wind turbine — Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft runs vertically. Among the advantages of this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes can be placed close to the ground, and that VAWT do not need to… …
17Windstar turbine — The Windstar vertical axis turbine is a lift type device with straight, extruded aluminum blades attached at each end to a central rotating shaft and are operated as Linear Array Vortex Turbine Systems (LAVTS). Vertical axis rotors each with… …
18Water turbine — A water turbine is a rotary engine that takes energy from moving water.Water turbines were developed in the nineteenth century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now they are mostly used for electric power… …
19Wells turbine — The Wells turbine is a low pressure air turbine that rotates continuously in one direction in spite of the direction of the air flow. Its blades feature a symmetrical airfoil with its plane of symmetry in the plane of rotation and perpendicular… …
20reaction turbine — A type of turbine in which the stator vane and the rotor are arranged in such a way that the entire pressure drop takes place between the rotor blades, which have convergent passages in the direction of flow. The nozzle guide vanes only guide the …
