Earlier this year, we built a side-by-side Eddy Current test rig that would allow us to take our wind tunnel miniature turbine designs out in natural wind to conduct load testing. We'd like to stress that these units are under load with our miniature Eddy Current brake system on each unit. Just having something free spinning in a wind tunnel, like many colleges and universities do, is not a valid test. The turbine needs to be under proper load to simulate performance at full scale. That's not an easy feat with miniature models but we've pulled it off in style.
We have these turbines under quite heavy loads for their size. We then calibrate (as best we can) the load of side A to side B. Once that's done we put the 2 different turbines up head to head.
Using this rig outside is a way to triple-check our wind tunnel findings and confirm whether or not the new scoop design we chose should be a significant improvement over our current scoops in our ALPHA rooftop unit. We finally had several really windy days at HTHQ (Harmony Turbines Headquarters), so we took things out for a spin.
Well…the results are incredibly exciting! Chris shares them in this video and also talks about what this could mean for Harmony’s BETA testing timeline!
We appreciate YOU, our community of followers, supporters and investors! We wouldn't have made it this far without you.
If you'd like to help make our technology a reality, please consider becoming an investor. For only $200 you can own equity in Harmony Turbines, which helps us continue our R&D, testing and eventually BETA testing. https://wefunder.com/HarmonyTurbines
