Review and summary of Solar Thermal Conversion Program planning assistance

Description: The Solar Thermal Conversion Program comprises a major part of the national solar energy program which must be continuously reviewed and modified where necessary. Modifications are typically required to reflect technical achievements and uncertainties which arise from within the program or from other technical programs, changes in budgets available for supporting the program as well as internal program funding priorities, changing goals such as through acceleration or stretch-out of the program… more

Application of composite bearingless rotor concept to wind turbine rotor. Progress report, June 3, 1975--October 31, 1975

Description: The objective of the one year program is to explore the feasibility of the Composite Bearingless Rotor (CBR) for use as a wind turbine and to evaluate several automatic control concepts designed to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness. The program consists of the design of a full-scale wind turbine, the design and fabrication of a dynamically scaled model, wind tunnel experiments, and analytical studies. To date, the design work has been completed, the model wind turbine support tower has … more

Feasibility investigation of the giromill for generation of electrical power

Description: The cyclogiro computer program, obtained from Prof. H. C. Larsen of the United States Air Force Institute of Technology, was modified to incorporate computation of blade loads for the normal operating and gust loading conditions. The program was also changed to allow computation of the effects of smoothing the blade rock angles in the region where they experienced large oscillations due to passing through a vortex shed by the previous blade. Using this program the various effects of rotor geome… more
