    I have a suggestion: Try to seal the turbine so little to no air can escape! This maximises torque or speed output significantly. Like you should place some kind of substance to seal the turbine so that no air can escape through any open gaps. And the turbine is entirely enclosed except for the pipe air intake. - Riley

    In order to make a balanced turbine, you need to measure both voltage and current. The higher the current, the more torque it has and the higher the voltage, the higher the speed is.

    A small suggestion: Pay attention to the length/radius/diameter of your "air parts".
    Torque is a measure of force over a distance (Newton on a meter stick, Pound on a 1 foot rod), so if you have large radii being pushed by air, you will be able to make use of more of the energy of the moving air. This means your compressed air will do more work. Notice the results of the "many bladed turbine" compared to the smaller diameter small bladed version. It was the diameter that was affecting your results the most. So, something with a diameter larger than you tested, but with the blade shape of what you ended up using, will get you more power to the gears.
    On the wheel side, you want smaller wheels to make more use of that torque produced by the turbine. What you have is fine for higher RPM, but you can't get to that RPM with so little torque.

    • @JamiesBrickJams
      @JamiesBrickJams  Месяц назад +4

      Yeah you're totally right, the efficiency of this one is absolutely awful - I'm sure there's a lot of potential being wasted. It's just a pity Lego doesn't design larger parts that can act as turbines. Building larger ones tends to make them quite heavy. But perhaps this is a job for 3d printing!

    The only variable for how much voltage you get was the speed of the magnets relative to the coil.
    Or am I missing something?

    • @JamiesBrickJams
      @JamiesBrickJams  Месяц назад +3

      Yup, that's right. At first I was interested to simply see what speed we get using different designs. Speed has some utility. But speed doesn't necessarily mean we'll be able to drive a load, which is why the second test was needed. I knew driving a car would need the turbine to overcome some significant resistance. Especially while stationary

    • @romano_9
      @romano_9 Месяц назад +1

      @@JamiesBrickJams Ah yes, makes sense. The "engine" needs some torque to get the car going. Just an idea if you do something similar in the future, try to measure the peak force you can pull with the string. Because I think once the car gets going, it needs significantly less power from the engine so it needs less air pressure.

    • @finnolino337
      @finnolino337 Месяц назад +2

      In the case of a small turbine that's powered by airflow, I think my point makes sense. Unlike large aircraft engines with a bypass system for efficiency, this small turbine doesn't have that. It relies directly on the airflow to spin the blades, without internal combustion or a bypass stream. So, the bypass concept from big turbofan engines doesn’t really apply here.

    • @clintkeen

      Depends on what kind of jet you're talking about. Large jets have large bypass ratios to maximize efficiency over power. Fighters typically have a super low bypass ratio to maximize power over efficiency

    @ABaumstumpf Месяц назад +1

    You really want to encase the turbine: Like the design at 4:33 should be rather decent, but without any housing it just deflects the air away.
    Simplest would just be a square box of bricks with the turbine vertically in the middle, with a air-inlet at one side at top, and outlet at the other side at the top - to force the air to go through the turbine.

    • @JamiesBrickJams
      @JamiesBrickJams  Месяц назад +1

      You're right. That was my original idea. And it sort of worked with a brick-built turbine. But for whatever reason, I just couldn't get a circular enclosure to run smoothly. It kept developing speed wobbles and vibrations, which increased the friction a lot. Certainly worth experimenting with further though

      Tesla turbine has the same efficiency as conventional turbine when you connect it to power something and it also has a low torque at high speeds because it's spinning really fast ( RUclipsr Jonny Q90 made one that spins at over 99.000 RPM 6-7 years ago).

    Instead of using an actuator, put motor to directly open the airflow. Far doesn't run for a long time,so it won't be a big deal.

      For this one, there was no load, so the generator was essentially 'free wheeling'. If nothing else, the results here are at least internally consistent. But for sure, if adding a significant load, it would create drag. I've made various air-powered generators that all experience massive drag when the load begins drawing power

    How much impact does angle of attack have on rotation speed?

    • @JamiesBrickJams
      @JamiesBrickJams  Месяц назад

      Quite a lot I found. Going deeper rather than shallower worked well for this small turbine shape. Though I'd imagine the angle of attack would be different for different turbine shapes

    Question: did you consider changing the shape of the output nozzle for the air to match the surface shape of the turbine blades?

      Thanks a lot! That's actually an interesting point. I haven't really experimented with that, other than just the pipe, vs the connector piece with the smaller nozzle. The nozzle concentrates it much better. But other shapes (like a flattened nozzle) could be very interesting. Thanks for the suggestion 🙏

      I guess technically you could pressurise a water bottle (e.g. 50 percent water and air) and have a powerful stream of water driving a turbine ... Like a vehicle powered by a water pistol!

    How bout making the turbines, flat disks.(infinity blades) If you are skeptical search Tesla turbine over 97%. It is high speed but low torque

    I want to like Circuit Cubes, because they're small and cheap, but they didn't work when I got them. I see people using them successfully in videos like this, so I assume they're just very hit and miss in quality. :/

      Aw man sorry they didn't work for you! That's a pity. Guess I got lucky with mine. It's amazing how small they managed to make them, while still being quite powerful. Just wish they'd allow you to daisy chain the Bluetooth units so you can control more than 3 motors
