Development of a Vertical Axis Pipe Flow Generator with Swing Gates

Abstract:

This study aims to develop an innovative Generator that can be installed in pipelines with ease or even without stopping the fluid flow under certain conditions. The turbine design was the major focus and modern engineering tools such as 3D CAD software and Rapid Prototyping technology were utilized during the development. Designs of different turbine structures were tested and the turbine with swing gates seems to be the best choice in this application. Experiments on parameters such as rotational velocity and voltages were performed with satisfactory results.
