#resvawthyb1 Simply The Best : https://lnkd.in/e_kh7vuq
Advances in Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Technology, published in : https://lnkd.in/eS-hxNBR
The RES GigaTube project challenges conventional turbine designs. A closer look at the advantages will show the superiority of the concepts. The turbine shown here is slightly taller than the conventional ENERCON E126 turbine on the right, which is one of the most efficient and well-designed HAWTs. The VAWT GigaTube shown on the left has an inflow area of 7930 square meters and a maximum diameter of 70 meters at the top of the rotating hyperboloid, tapering gradually to a minimum of 50 meters. At a wind speed of 12 m/s, the six variable pitch blades will produce 4.8 MW, while at 15 m/s the output will increase to 9.5 MW, compared to the ENERCON E126's output of 3.0 MW and 4.8 MW, respectively. This is coupled with a power-to-weight ratio of 250 tons/MW for the Gigatube, compared to ENERCON's E126, which has a ratio of 1153 tons/MW. The Gigatube design utilizes variable asymmetrical profiles that provide up to 30% more lift than the symmetrical profiles used in a conventional Darrieus rotor. All load-bearing elements are subject to either tensile or compressive forces for structural integrity. However, at high speeds, where the ratio of lift to drag reaches a factor of 5, centrifugal forces must be carefully monitored. Radial spokes in the cavity between the mast and rotor divide the cavity into relatively short sections. In addition, the leeward blades are connected to the windward blades. At wind speeds above 12 m/s, the centrifugal force outweighs the lift created by the asymmetric profiles in the two semicircular orbits. For these reasons, this turbine can be built at a much lower cost than the reference turbine on the right. In addition, all components of this VAWT are 100% recyclable and do not harm the environment. Last but not least: Birds, with their spatial vision, will notice this wind turbine even when it is spinning at five times the wind speed.

#resvawthyb2 The rhythm of a new era: https://lnkd.in/eCNy2Mny
The age of lignite combustion is drawing to a close, and at the foot of the cooling towers, we can already see the exciting new chapter in wind power that is about to unfold in the industrial landscape. This incredible new technology opens up a world of possibilities, allowing us to harness the power of wind on a scale like never before. We're about to enter a new era of large-scale hydrogen production, and it's going to be amazing!
Check out the RES Blade here: https://lnkd.in/e9eEuM77 #resgigatube21 We are thrilled to announce that an European Patent will be granted for the RES GIGATUBE project. This cutting-edge adjustable blade, features a marking a significant advancement in aerospace engineering. The wind turbine is an incredible sight to behold, standing at an impressive 600 meters in height and a whopping 200 meters in diameter. It takes more than a minute to complete one rotation, making it a truly majestic and awe-inspiring sight. Amazingly, at two positions oriented in the direction of the wind, the suction side of the rotor blade has this incredible ability to transition from the inner side in the windward rotation to the outer side in the leeward rotation! It's incredible how little force is required to make these adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune the suction side within the range of these adjustment positions, also known as the vane position. The pitch change happens over several seconds, which is great news as it means there is no sudden load change on the rotor blade. This is in contrast to the Darrieus rotor, where such changes are known to occur and are a source of concern. But don't worry – the load peaks are reduced over the time required for the pitch change itself. This configuration is absolutely amazing at facilitating smooth and harmonious rotor operation. The length changes of the pneumatic actuators, arranged without contact in the rotor blade, are achieved by pumping air from the outer to the inner actuator and vice versa – how cool is that!

RES VAWT Hyb 3

#resvawthyb3 Spinning in Cape Town: https://lnkd.in/eJ7nPBsB
The invention is an example of Galileo Galilei's insight that a structure cannot be arbitrarily enlarged without compromising stability. In his 17th-century essay “Dialogue Concerning Two New Sciences,” Galileo Galilei very convincingly explained the relationship between structure and size using the example of a bone. With regard to wind turbines with a horizontal axis of rotation, it is now believed that Galileo Galilei's insight is no longer relevant. The lack of stability in the face of wind forces is becoming increasingly apparent in the form of stability failures in three-bladed turbines, which are a frequent cause for complaint. The wind turbines with a vertical axis of rotation proposed here use the lightweight construction principle of a hyperbolic lattice shell to enable wind turbines with an output of 50 to 100 MW. This represents a quantum leap in power yield. The VAWT under consideration has a supporting structure consisting of a large-mesh lattice shell with diamond-shaped fields triangulated by horizontal steel cables. The middle blade segment of a three-part variable blade profile is designed as a box-shaped supporting element of the lattice shell and is located in the area of maximum profile thickness of the variable blade profile. A nose segment and a trailing edge segment of the blade profile are hinged to the steel structure by actuators with a stepper gear. This enables the suction side of the blade profile to transition from the windward inner side to the leeward outer side of the orbit, with the diameter IX - III maintaining a perpendicular alignment to the respective wind direction. Consequently, the kinetic energy of the wind can be converted into rotational energy through the use of an asymmetrical blade profile. It is a well-established fact that an asymmetrical blade profile provides one-third more lift than a symmetrical blade profile. The tangential driving force, which is one-third greater in magnitude, is derived from the lift force inclined in the direction of rotation. This development has the potential to bridge the efficiency gap with wind turbines that utilize a horizontal axis of rotation. Note: an improved efficiency of 18 percent compared to a Darrieus rotor is offset by a loss of only one percent for blade adjustment.

#resvawthyb4 The Queen of the Baltic Sea: https://lnkd.in/eYPku8XV
The RES Institute hereby expresses its profound satisfaction in announcing that the European Patent Office has rendered a decision to grant a patent for this technology, which has the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in the field. The simulation results indicate that there is no discrepancy in efficiency between a HAWT and a VAWT. The Baltic Sea is experiencing significant changes in its environment. The four rotor blades of this turbine are designed with a hyperbolic curvature. The diameter of the rotor is 200 meters at its zenith, decreasing to 100 meters at its nadir. This configuration enables the maintenance of a constant lambda value, thereby achieving a twofold increase in inflow speed at the upper region of the rotor in comparison to the lower region. The turbine, which has been elevated to a height of 80 meters above sea level, will possess a total height of 600 meters. It is expected to generate 52.4 MW of power at a wind speed of 15 meters per second. Furthermore, the VAWT's lightweight structure boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 343 tonnes per MW, a notable advantage in terms of efficiency and weight reduction. This design will challenge the current state of the art in horizontal axis wind turbines, offering indisputable performance advantages.

PCT application published with examiners report: https://lnkd.in/et9qwc6S
Patent granted in Germany already: https://lnkd.in/eVcSpURp
Have you ever considered the incredible potential of wind energy? Sailing is definitely the way to go — much better than riding a merry-go-round! Osaka Bay is home to three of these majestic wind turbines, spinning just off the Akashi Peninsula. In the background, you can catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring Akashi Kaikyo suspension bridge. Take a closer look and you'll be amazed by the advantages of this cutting-edge technology. This impressive VAWT stands at 510 metres tall and has an inflow area of 74,000 square metres. It has an impressive maximum diameter of 220 metres at the top of the rotating hyperboloid, tapering to a minimum of 150 metres. At a wind speed of 12 metres per second, the six variable-pitch blades will deliver an impressive 45 megawatts (MW), while at 15 metres per second, the output will soar to an astonishing 88 MW. This gives a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 330 tons/MW, including the foundations and generator. The Gigatube design uses asymmetric profiles that provide up to 30% more lift than a Darrieus rotor with symmetric profiles. The design's structural integrity is unparalleled, with all load-bearing elements able to withstand tensile or compressive forces. At high speeds, where lambda reaches a factor of 5, centrifugal forces must be carefully monitored to ensure optimal performance and safety. The innovative Gigatube design features radial spokes in the cavity between the mast and rotor, dividing the cavity into relatively short sections. Additionally, the leeward blades are connected to the windward blades, enhancing aerodynamics and efficiency. At wind speeds above 12 m/s, the centrifugal force exceeds the lift generated by the asymmetric profiles in the two semicircular orbits, making this turbine a cost-effective solution for wind energy production.

#resvawthyb6 Driven by a Pacific breeze: https://lnkd.in/ea2iajMR
German patent granted: https://lnkd.in/ea2iajMR
International pct application: https://lnkd.in/ea2iajMR
Driven by a Pacific breeze, the RES-GigaTube, with its flipped-over rotor blades, can convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity at a rate of up to 50 MW per unit or more. The RES-GigaTube stands at around 480 metres high and has a diameter of approximately 200 metres at its base. The asymmetric rotor blades are regularly flipped at the nodal connectors of the grid shell structure to change their suction side from outside to inside the orbit. The lambda reaches up to five times the wind speed, enabling the suction forces resulting from uplift — which, incidentally, are one third higher than those of a symmetric profile — to be balanced between the leeward and windward halves of the turbine's orbit, and vice versa. One revolution of the giant tube takes more than a minute, which has an important impact on the ecosystem as well as creating a striking visual impression. The Giga Tube's structure is a hyperbolic grid shell with rigid connections between the rotor blades.

#reshyperboloid8 Energy for Australia's Outback: https://lnkd.in/d8a3CkN
The RES Giga Tube combines an innovative aerodynamic system with a lattice shell structure to generate clean energy. In Australia's outback, the RES Giga Tube's variable rotor blades convert wind's kinetic energy into electricity at a rate of up to 50 MW per unit or more. It is around 600 metres high and has a diameter of around 240 metres at the base. The asymmetrically profiled, variable rotor blades extend at regular intervals between the nodes of the lattice shell structure, and their intake side orientation changes twice from outside to inside within one orbit. The suction force resulting from the lift is equal on the windward and leeward sides of the turbine, and is a third higher than with a symmetrical profile. One revolution of the Giga Tube takes more than a minute, which is important for both the impact on the ecosystem and the visual impression.

RES VAWT Hyb 9

#resvawthyb9 Danish Dynamite: https://lnkd.in/dzbiNH8
On 9 December 2030, we arrive in front of the Øresund Bridge. A new type of wind turbine is generating electricity in quantities that would have been considered impossible ten years ago. The increasing demand for clean energy has driven the conversion of more and more wind energy using the RES Giga Tube at lower cost. But how has this leap in wind energy conversion happened? An unbiased survey of state-of-the-art wind turbines in 2020, which are also present in the video, revealed that three-quarters of the structural mass is used to install a generator at a height of 140 metres, while the rotor accounts for only about a quarter of the turbine's total mass. By this time, the development of a new type of wind turbine had already begun, and on 9 December 2030, the first of these new designs was unveiled. From then on, the RES-Giga Tube enjoyed global success. It was later realised that merging the turbine's supporting structure with the rotor was a very good idea. This radically simplified the construction plan for a wind turbine, with the load-bearing structure consisting almost entirely of a large number of rotor blades connected to form a rotating hyperbolic lattice shell. Twenty metres above sea level, the generator is integrated into a ring-shaped base. The rotor blades of the Giga-Tube wind turbine change their orientation at each nodal joint of the grid shell structure.

RES VAWT Hyb 10

#resvawthyb10 Spinning in front of Cape Town: https://lnkd.in/dMPX8i5
The turbine's supporting structure consists of a central mast that supports a series of nozzles connected to a rotor. This rotor is formed by a cable net structure that supports variable rotor blades. The blades have pivoting leading and trailing edges, which are connected to a rigid central section that is supported by the cable net. The rotor itself is divided into windward and leeward halves. The blades are variable and consist of a rigid central section and pivoting nose and tail sections, which are pneumatically or electrically actuated. One diameter of the wind turbine is always sensor-controlled to be perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction, so that the suction side of the rotor blades faces inwards during windward rotation and outwards during leeward rotation. When lambda exceeds 2, centrifugal forces override the lift generated by the rotor blades. The solution to this problem, which increases in proportion to the lambda factor up to 5, is the concave surface of the hyperbolic prestressed cable net. Spoked wheels in the void between the mast and the rotor transfer loads from the leeward side to the windward side. This reduces the lateral force acting on the mast. This design far outperforms any other type of wind turbine in its ability to manage power.

Advancements in Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Technology, published in: https://lnkd.in/eS-hxNBR
The turbine pictured is slightly taller than the ENERCON E126, which is one of the most efficient and well-designed HAWTs. With a height of 225 metres and a diameter of 70 metres, the VAWT GigaTube has a much better power-to-weight ratio of 360 tonnes per megawatt (MW) than the ENERCON E126's 1,153 tonnes per MW. The GigaTube design uses twelve asymmetric profiles that provide up to 30% more lift than the symmetric profiles of a Darrieus rotor. All load-bearing elements are subject to either tensile or compressive forces. However, at high speeds where lambda reaches a factor of 5, centrifugal forces must be carefully monitored. Radial spokes in the cavity between the mast and rotor divide the cavity into relatively short sections. Additionally, the leeward blades are connected to the windward blades. At wind speeds above 12 m/s, the centrifugal force exceeds the lift generated by the asymmetric profiles in both semicircular orbits. For this and other reasons, this turbine can be built much more economically than the reference turbine on the right.
