Rotor blade accelerations up to 200 times g
Mertens became responsible for the aerodynamics of the machine. He combined analytical flow calculations with data from the wind tunnel (using a computational fluid dynamics program) to continually improve the design. “I was able to calculate how high and how wide the rotor blades had to be. This resulted in a wind turbine with threeLees meer overRotor blade accelerations up to 200 times g[…]
