I have a question for all you wind engineers out there... I think the WindTamer is designed backwards... How about designing it like a venturi
see definition of venturi...
The Venturi effect is a jet effect; as with an (air) funnel, or a thumb on a garden hose, the velocity of the substance increases on the way from the wide section to the narrow section, and the pressure increases too -- over a smaller surface area, of course, the same force applied to a smaller area equals a higher pressure in that area. Compared to the initial flow, this narrowed flow -- with more pressure -- increases draw, it creates more vacuum in its wake, if one is allowed -- such as a port, open or sealed. According to the laws governing fluid dynamics, a fluid's velocity must increase as it passes through a constriction to satisfy the conservation of mass, while its pressure must decrease to satisfy the conservation of energy. Thus any gain in kinetic energy a fluid may accrue due to its increased velocity through a constriction is negated by a drop in pressure. An equation for the drop in pressure due to the Venturi effect may be derived from a combination of Bernoulli's principle and the continuity equation.
So you see the Tamer should have air entering from the larger side and exiting out the narrow end, this venturi effect will spin the blades faster there by breaking Bets Limit, on conclusion my observation makes perfect sense. Wouldn't your agree Dr. Brock?
