These videos of VERY early proof-of-concept models (constructed from K’nex gears with foamcore blades), clearly illustrates the “spinor” motion. All things considered, they work amazingly well, and allowed us to improve the blade profile and even perform initial efficiency measurements. When the initial six foot machined metal turbine has completed testing (shown in next video without aerodynamic blades), new videos will be added to this page.
