  • In this episode, we explain the function of Wells Turbine. This turbine is one possible power take-off for the oscillating water column concept of harnessing the wave energy. In our movie about the "Limpet" wave power plant, this turbine is shown, but not explained. Several viewers couldn't understand the function of this turbine. Some of them even claim that this turbine couldn't produce any energy. This is the reason why we created this movie. We are not affiliated with any company which is producing this type of turbine. This movie is also not made in a commission of anybody. Its sole purpose is to explain the function of the Wells Turbine. Maybe, watching this movie, you will get another idea for the solution of harvesting wave energy and help to produce sustainable energy. We just spread the ideas to keep our planet green.

You could make a thousand turbines like that, with all that concrete and still not come close. Not to mention that you can make one CANDU plant with 8 units and the number of households it can power is measured in several millions.

      @@ShelbyRestorations By such a difference in energy production and efficiency the risk is negligible, especially considering how low it is with modern solutions. Also, not every country has islands or a shore and those with shores have limited space, so it'd be a huge waste of space and materials for the production, when you could just build 1 nuclear plant. We are talking about 1 plant vs hundreds of thousands of turbines. It's just not a viable replacement, physically, economically and logically. Recycling nuclear waste, like in France, is more viable in this scenario. As it stands, nuclear power is the most efficient clean power we know.

    The design is novel, in that the shaft always turns in the same direction. In doing so, the acute attack angle, causes the turbine to "stall", and often in need of being electrically started. Suited only for large surf conditions. If it were effective, it would be commonplace. There are better methods, of utilizing the OWC air flow. The video is done well, and clearly explained.

      ​@@IdeasfortheGreenPlanet There is nearly a 50% loss of kinetic energy. ​It will turn only as fast as the air is ​pushing, and therefore will simply pass through those voids in between the blades. As you enlarge the unit, the voids grow larger, in relationship to the blades surface area. Self defeating. I am surprised at how much personal energy has been devoted to this design.

    Of course, although not optimised for it most turbines would turn in the same direction if the gas flow comes from either side.
    This method seems to offer the advantage that it could be integrated into sea walls that are in place primarily for protection thus defraying overall costs for the turbines and the sea wall. Also it could be integrated into ground built offshore wind turbines. It also has the advantage that its moving parts are largely clear of the corrosive effects of salt water and are accessible above water.

    Better put a float inside the column chamber to actuate the generator either mechanically or hydraulically. It will be more efficient.
    Later, you may add more floats just outside the chamber to increase the power output. Even more efficient.

    • @jonathant.boylan1455
      @jonathant.boylan1455 4 года назад +2

      Wouldn't adding a float slow down the water coming in? And slowing down the water would decrease the velocity of the air passing through the turbine. It would be interesting to see what the trade-off on power would be.

    • @optroncordian7863
      @optroncordian7863 4 года назад

      My idea is to not use air for moving the generator. The float can move a mechanism directly, or can move a hydraulic pump. Then this mechanism or the hydraulic pressure moves the generator. That way the brief pauses when transitioning between positive and negative pressure are eliminated.

      Also a misconception is that Bernoulli interactions and the Coandă effect are responsible for generating lift on airfoils. They are not. The pressure differentials generated on and around an airfoil are approximate enough to Bernoulli that Bernoulli's formulas are used in designing aircraft, but Bernoulli forces contribute little to lift generation by way of an airfoil.
      Airfoils utilize the vacuum generated on their top side to pull down and accelerate it downwards, and in so doing, the opposite reaction is lift: It's Newtonian. Airfoil equipped aircraft are essentially horizontal rockets, but much more efficient.
      Airfoils are more efficient in sustaining flight because the majority of the energy utilized to maintain lift for airfoil equipped aircraft comes from gravity: 66% to 75%, or more.

    This is a pretty cool how direction of air flow is irrelevant. You could make a more efficient wind generator functional in only one direction but you would need two. Double the price! You would also need something like a diaphragm to select generator based on direction of air flow. Price and complexity go up! Kind of reminds me of the movie Logan's Run where they used generators operated by the tide. With the decades of ocean studies, implementing these generators on a grand scale seems feasible. You probably to eliminate the cost and construction headaches of the concrete chamber by mounting the generator in a PVC tube and mounting the tube vertically.

    • @Cameron.....
      @Cameron..... 4 года назад

      The problem is the turbine takes time to slow down before it can change direction. Changing direction makes it highly inefficient. This system would work better in one direction with a heavy flywheel. Adopt the system used in turbo cars and use an air bypass valve. As the wave draws back and creates a vacuum, the valve can open bypassing the turbine allowing it to continue in the same direction while still generating power, the valve closes again as the wave comes back up pressurising the chamber and driving the turbine further.
