Hello,

here we see some physical facts about this turbine:

Kator01,


          Thank you. The audio was deleted from the video over copyright issues. Nevertheless, "Lucid" maintains that a space is required between the serial turbine blades in order for the flow to return to normal. The factor is 3.5 times the turbine diameter.  




 "Multiple LucidPipe units can be rapidly
and easily installed into a single pipeline
for a system that can produce more than a
megawatt of electricity.
 
LucidPipe extracts very little head pressure
per turbine, just 1–6 PSI (1-4 meters). This
allows the modular LucidPipe system to be
placed in series, while allowing for uninter-
rupted water flow".

Hi all,
thanks for the started discussion. The mentioned technologies are very interesting. My questiones. It is not completely clear how to gain energy from them (especially from the Harman design). An other question for me is: the water has a disadvantage: it is heavy. Such a setup must be very large.

@AlenA,


            Have you ever seen a "Lava lamp" from the sixties? The light bulb sets globs of fluid into a continuous motion inside a glass fixture. Victor Shauberger designed a vessel that was egg shaped. A small temperature differential sets the fluid inside into a similar kind of motion, as the heated pointed end facing down sends the fluid upward then along the expanded roof where the heat's disipated and the cooler liquid then settles once again towards the bottom. A votical rotor at the base vigorously stimulates the motion with the addition of a small amount of electrical input. The heat from the vortical rotor motor would help percolate the fluid. I wonder if this kind of artificial fluid invigoration can generate sufficient power to drive itself coupled with very low resistance helical hydrofoil turbine blades?

hi synchro1,
yes I know the lava lamp. They were very famous years ago. You explained the principle in your last message. But I am not sure if such a device could bring the wished result.
