GSR to work with a RAEL Partner

California Energy & Power has developed and built a new vertical axis wind turbine. Our first turbine wing on the VX-1000 wind turbine is 99" tall and 32"" wide and (with two wings)produces approximately 400 watts of power at 28 miles per hour of wind (rated power). Each wing has a rotation of 60 degrees, a slight hook at the end of each wing and baffles on the grip side of the turbine wing. We seek an aeronautical engineer (or grad student) who can assist us in modeling the wing in a computer in order to optimize torque. Our goal is to produce a wing which can produce 38 N.m of torque in order to drive a larger 8 kw permanent magnet alternator. In order to do this we would employ our concentrator technology along with a larger working surface to the turbine wing. We want to model several iterations of the prototype design to assess the torque produced in each scenario.
