Gyromag = Gyroscopic + Magnus. I friendly call it “Mirabolatore 3000″ or “mb3k”. It’s still a prototipe however i wish to share it with you. Music by Calpomatt (calpomatt.lavista.org).

so?
I have seen tghis design for years, in the little eye-catching signs you see now and then. What’s unique about it?
minchia che bordello che fa’ quando gira con vento forte e le palette aprendosi e chiudendosi sbattono ha ha ha
e ci credo che l’hai messa lontano da casa……
na semplice savonius non vero ???
ciao
I like the build, but flapper designs are hardly new. I just looks so horribly complex that you seem to have skipped over the need for cheap watts per dollar. TO achieve cheap energy, arent you better to lower the build price rather than use calculus to chase extra efficiency?
molto ma molto bello
Looks like a very noisy design.
Look at the video response
That it turns is a given, i haven’t videos to demonstrate it at the moment, but i will upload soon a video made indoor with an older version of gyromag.
I saw a project about something called flettner turbine, it gives spin to 2 cilinders and it takes energy by the rotation of them around the orizzontal axis. What would happen if the spin is simply given by shape and shutters? Gyromag gives the answer.
I don’t know if my gyromag has a good efficiency, by the way i know that it works.
Your design has flawed and will hardly turn. You shouldn’t make it turn because the smaller turbines have gyro effect. If you oppose the gyro forces by making it turn, you will lose so much energy. The design also takes so much space. Just make it simple, don’t make it turnable, add skirts at the little flap edges to block wind.
I explain better.
If it was a simple VAWT (only spin fixed for the vertical axis) it couldn’t take advantage of the 1st rotation extra power.
Gyromag is surely more efficient than a VAWT (even if more complicated) because the 1st rotation induces a relative velocity field that acts on the spin.
1st rotation is “free”, a rotating body in an airflow always creates a perpendicularly force.
That’s why Gyromag needs a pivot sistem.
Thank you.
It is not a VAWT, it is a hybrid wind turbine, it has 3 degrees of freedom: spin, 1st rotation around horizontal x axis and 2nd rotation around vertical z axis (but it is necessary only for redirecting the turbine in the wind direction – maybe what you call pivot?).
Spin is generated by the open shutters, 1st rotation by gyroscopic and magnus effect.
The extrapower of this turbine is given by the “self-exalting” process in mixing the 2 most important degrees of freedom.
Cool design.. .But if it’s a VAWT, why does it need to pivot?
so damn cool!!!!!!
so goooooooood!
tu sei un GENIO!!!!!
