T-(Shaped) Turbine, Which uses Centrifugal Force

I keep thinking of the stress that 3 rps puts on a structure and then I thought of your device at 12 foot wide. From a structure point of view, you are going to need top mounts for you generators or they will rip out of your machine.  When it come to CF the further away from the center the greater CF effect. So the larger it can be made, the slower it will be allowed to spin.

Hi Telecom,

Sorry for the Delay in my Reaction. But to Create a Table Top - Model (depending on the size of your table ) I would suggest the following parameters:

(I shouldn't go lower than a 0.5 m Radius and 10 Litre/Second Flow Rate, because then the output power becomes below usable figures)

Parameters:
Rotation Radius 0.5 meter (Feed Pipe/Penstock radius)
Rotation speed 6 rps (Rounds per Second)
Turbine Flow Rate 10 Litre/Second (0.01 m^3/s)

Centrifugal Acceleration: (@ 6 rps and @ 5m)
710.612 (m/s^2) / 2 = 355.306 (m/s^2)

Hydro-Power Calculation for Each Turbine:
1510.05 Watts =  0.85 x 1000 x 0.01 x 355.306 x 0.5

Total Power:
1510.05 x 2 = 3020.10 Watts

Hi,
what should be the dia of the pipe?
Also, how do I take out power from the turbines/generators - they are rotating
at 360 RPM???
How do I connect the wires???
Regards

@ AB Hammer,

From a structure point of view I think that there must be some optimum. If you build it too big and spin it too fast, no structure will hold. And you are right about the turbines/generators. You want to place them at the circumference of the rotating Feed Pipes/Penstocks where the Centrifugal Force is on its maximum. Because of that position, the stress exerted on the Turbine/Generator will also be on its maximum, so the Turbine Mount also needs to be fairly solid.

(It can be challenging to build, but I don't think it's impossible...)

@ Telecom,

For a Flow Rate of 10 Litre/Second I can imagine that the pipe diameter must be somewhere around 20 centimeters. And to take power from your (rotating) generators, a slip ring arrangement can be added to the system.

(I know they are not presented on the original T-(Shaped) Turbine Images, but these are more like a presentation of the conceptual idea)

I am planning of doing a video of my Test Setup. See the Image for my Test Setup
