Congratulations.

An EXCELLENT Concept and a valiant effort.

We shall appreciate if smaller turbines are developed for the benefit of Developing Countries. From our Institute we shall gladly participate in field trials etc.

Pl. keep us on mailing list for info and further developments.

I have a design for a run of river power generation unit not too disimilar to the one displayed here.It is based on a modified Savonious Rotor and can be horizontally or vertically mounted,is reversible (tidal applications) and lends itself pefectly to shallow water applications too.

i think it is still kind of fast spinnig 20 times a minute. i am not aware of the size of this thing. should this be protected from access just for safety (with a wireframe or something) so no one could get hurt there? despite the above i think its a great project. Anything can save the planet is good.
P.S.
We should try consume less energy though

Your parents mower was rusty, dirty, dull, badly adjusted and totally unrelated to this turbine.

this looks like one of those oush mowers that I hated growing up. that thing was incredibly inefficient and incredibly hard to get going. they say this will be efficient but if it’s as hard to get going as my parents push mower then I’ll be amazed if it spins at all.
