WIND ENERGY NSM 21 (PROTOTYPE 1)
Posted under News by Webmaster at 18:47 on Jul 29 2010
This project is based on regular wind energy turbines in combination with the magnus effect. The real trial prototypes are still in construction. No external energy is given to this turbine. A worldwide patent application is now in progress. Everyone who is related in this field is invited to share your thoughts and ideas with us. For more informations click www.mehmetoglu.com

The point of most of these is to get people thinking,2 show that they dont all have to look the same & that it`s rich for advancement.One of the most ridiculous arguments against Wind Energy is that Wind driven turbines are ugly.A Nuclear smoke stack & what we are doing to the world we live in is far uglier.

why not have just a single tube?

how does the filter prevent the chemical breakdown of the oil at the molecular level?
This sounds like the story everybody’s uncle tells of his friend at Ford who invented the 150mpg carburetor.

I think this might have the bonus on standard wind turbines in that they don’t rotate much faster than the wind during operation. Thus they don’t kill bats/birds but could with their higher torque but lower speed generate just as much power. It’s also MUCH easier to machine a cylinder than a bloody aerofoil. 8D

exactly. what if it caught a bird or something? it would cut it apart.

razor blades? thats not safe…

Sorry what is better about this than a regular turbine?
No external energy my arse

What I mean by that is that it doesn’t make oodles and oodles of profit like, say, oil and gas. But I can also see it not taking off due to NIMBYism – NIMBY (“Not In My Back Yard”) is the term for the syndrome of people loving these great ideas…as long as they’re not nearby. With wind turbines, it means “I hope we build more of these…but not where they destroy my view”. And as there are NIMBY types everywhere, there are few places to build where a few locals don’t throw a fit.

Why won’t it make money if it’s more efficient than existing models? Is it much more expensive to make?

I know I *LOVE* incidents like Chernobyl.
I don’t like these turbines, but the other kinds are nice.
12 theweepingangelon 30 Jul 2010 at 00:32
Turbines and panels pay for themselves after a given time, whereas oil and other resources as such are diminished. While nuclear and oil facilities make energy for a bit cheaper, these make for cleaner/more breathable air with less pollution. That, and if one of these breaks down, Chernobyl doesn’t happen.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not into Priuses or composting or anything, but this would be far more beneficial after a few years.

Because oil companies buy ideas and patents and put them away for good. Why would you care if you were 65 years old and a millionaire? You have no need to worry about the planet in the next 25 years or so, so screw it, gouge the economy now. Go look up Stan Meyer, VERY interesting. I worked for a guy who’s brother in law created a never ending oil filter – you never needed to change your oil again, the filter kept it clean. Oil bought the idea, and the guy got rich. Where is it now?

Yes, these three are supposed to use the Magnus Effect. Ericdebord, there’s the clincher: “Doesn’t make money”. If it’s helpful, and efficient, and useful…but it doesn’t make a profit…the thinking is, what good is it?

spinning cylinders are extra drag and wasted energy.
16 wondersaxon 30 Jul 2010 at 03:01
this would only work in highly windy places due to the added weight

is this digital?
19 wingman63on 30 Jul 2010 at 04:07
All that’s missing on this one are three coloured spheres extending vertically from the mast and bobbing up and down at varying heights. Whistles could also be attached to the blades for added absurdity.

if wind or solar power works so well then why hasnt it taken over the oil biz? because the biz math doesnt add up, its too costly! do the math. price, maintance and the fact it has a very short life do not out weight the pace this investment loses value and it doesnt make money. if it did they wouldnt need so much help from the gov and supported by kooks. if it worked they would be on every house but they dont….

smarter then coal i guess…
anything is more efficient then a combustion reaction.
22 mylegsareswollenon 30 Jul 2010 at 05:58
These eye sores are going to pollute the landscapes of the world; killing birds, exploding in high winds leaving a huge carbon footprint.
Nuclear power is cleaner, more efficient, and the future solution to the energy crisis.

The spinning cylinders utilize the Magnus Effect maybe?
24 chuefferon 30 Jul 2010 at 07:34
Stick to the K.I.S.S. principal:Keep it simple,stupid.
25 PatrikMacGoohanon 30 Jul 2010 at 08:15
I haven’t thought about it too much but it looks like the overall effect of the cylinders is drag. On the front side the cylinders are creating a horizantal force forward. On the backside they’re pulling back. It balances out. Replace the cylinders with props and you harness more force to spin the turbine. As far as I can tell the cylinders and their spinning motion are a total waste of time and they will cost you energy. Of course I don’t know everything. Maybe you know something I don’t.
