No, he won't. There is no project. Look elsewhere: the Crab People from Venus have sent you to the wrong place.
I'm liking it more and more. :) I'm enjoying writing routines that accomplish some aero and hydro computations I need. There was something I...
No point in contacting me. (1) The project is not interesting to me, (2) My former prof. left dozens of aero and hydro projects I want to finish.
Vanes, or a small Savonius inside the trajectory of the main wings can help self-starting, but they reduce efficiency at higher tip-speed...
Fair points. Shrouds on VAWTs would need to be yawed into the wind, which adds to the complexity and the VAWT loses one of its inherent...
It certainly is. I'll wade in first with a request. Run re-tests of the NPL Series, and then repeat with larger models. :)
If you do well with the physics, mathematics, and general engineering components of the course then you will have many other options available...
I'm not all that convinced by rotating shrouds. If you are going to commit material (especially expensive marine metals or composites) hoping to...
Gonzo, you only made one fundamental error, and that was thinking that the blades on the downwind side can't generate any useful power. You have...
That is not correct. The blades on the downwind side can extract some of the energy that remains after the upwind blades have extracted their...
You're correct on that score, Tom. In the (infinitely-thin) lifting-surface program I posted several years ago, the Kutta condition is,...

Nice corporate golf buggy!
Why do you need to see anything? In fact, who needs crew on ACV or SES these days? A 2000 tonne, crewless, Sea-Train at 75 knots would keep...
There are no shortage of alternatives for slow/medium transport. Apart from SES/ACV there's nothing I can see that could handle 75 -100 knots....
It's time to get a real job now that I've turned 60. And I've been watching volcanoes for many years, so it's a natural for me. :) But...
IMO, the only way for there to be a market for a large fleet of big SES (or ACV) would be if a volcanic eruption (e.g. Laki or some other...
I accept that Alik's ratings are sound and sensible, as befits a good NA's "market" research. (Like you, I doubt that the market will ever...
There is a chapter in a book by Cheung Hun Kim that might be helpful:...
The sidehulls of SES are in contact with water: more at take-off and low speed, almost none at very high speed in calm seas.
